Bat Cave is on Menjangan Island. The wall is vertical and full of reef fish. Because of where it sits, current that comes and goes makes reef sharks more likely here than on the sheltered gardens.
A dive is about 5–40 m, and the cliff continues deeper; some notes put it to about 55 m. Triggerfish, jacks, tuna, and turtles are on the wall. Eagle rays and pygmy seahorses are rarer. Entry is by boat.
