Tanjung Husi

Tanjung Husi is a cape off Bangka close to Sahaung, where stronger currents bring nutrient-rich water. Large sea fans line the ridges and coral growth is rich, and tuna and trevally pass through. A neighbouring variant, Tanjung Husi 2, has a gentle stony-coral slope to sand at about 20 m with a sheltered plateau of batfish, and a soft-coral shoreline for late-afternoon dives.
