Batu Kapal (Nain)
Batu Kapal ('ship rock') off Nain is a huge underwater pinnacle separated from the reef by a deep canyon. Its top lies around 40–42 m and caves sit near 60 m, so the interesting part is beyond recreational limits. Large tuna and even a hammerhead have been seen, and dolphins or pilot whales are often met on the boat ride.
