Scuba Diving Malaysia-Pulau
Tenggol
The Tenggol
group of islands one of the best diving, is the most southerly
of Terengganu's Marine Parks. It consists of Pulau Tenggol, Pulau
Nyireh (Nyireh Island), Tokong Timur, Tokong Talang, Tokong Burung
and Tokong Kemudi.
The main
island, Pulau Tenggol, is about 50ha in size and is one of
the most beautiful and serene islands off
Peninsular Malaysia's east coast. It is also famous for its
spectacular rocky cliffs that offer many excellent dive sites. Here,
one can find pristine coral formations and a number of submerged
rocks with excellent coral growths. The deep waters surrounding the
island offer good visibility especially during the months of April
until June. Marine life that can be seen here includes sharks, rays,
nudibranch and a wide variety of hard and soft coral.
Favorite Dives:
Tokong Air Tawar,
a well
sheltered bay is
excellent for checkout dives and night dives from the shore. Depth
gradually increases down the gentle slope to about 20 meters. Hard
corals dominate the terrain with sporadic soft corals adding a touch
of color to the monochromatic seascape. Shy garden eels can be
observed towards the right of the bay at about 10 meters depth on
the sandy bottom.
Batu Tokong
Laut.
One of the
more popular sites for advance divers seeking out schools of fish.
Located in the open sea, the boulder-like terrain features
interesting swim through tunnels and crevices for divers to explore.
Some of the fish sighted include batfish, fusiliers, jacks and
kingfish.
 Batu
Tokong Kamudi.
Extending down
to slightly more than 30 meters, the seascape has a good mix of hard
and soft corals. Christmas tree worms carpet the face of porite
mounds. Except to see lots of sea anemone, nudibranchs,
butterflyfish, wrasses, parrotfish and large snappers.
