Tokong Laut
The 'pinnacle' is among the best dive site in perhentian with magical view. Bamboo shark lying under the rock, Razor fish dancing around the colourful seafan, 3 legged turtle making more exciting, snappers and morel eels swimming around the pinnacle, stonefish/ scorpion fish at the bottom and plenty of softcoral. A must-go dive site.

Terumbu Tiga (T3)
The combination of 3 brother's rock in middle surrounded by mini pinnacle is no doubt the choice for many experienced divers. There are many swim through in between the rock with the colourful corals underneath are so memorable & adding the fun to your dive.

D'Lagoon

Tanjung Basi (Iron Cap)
Another dive site for coral euthusiasts. Large 'piece' of staghorn coral with Titan and yellow margin triggerfish make their home here. so as orange-spine unicornfish.

One advice for the divers, if you feel any current drifting you farther, turnback immediately as it could drift you to the 'big' sea.
