| DIVE SITES |
|
| Diving on Perhentian Islands is mostly easy and relaxed for all levels of experience |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| You have the choice of fringing coral reefs, pinnacles and shipwrecks. |
|
| We regularly visit all dive sites, not just the ones at our doorstep. There are also a couple of sites that are known only to Watercolours – guaranteed no other divers! |
|
| The maximum depth at most of the dive sites ranges between 12 and 24 meters. Our advanced dive sites can be deeper, up to 40 meters. Visibility changes throughout the year, averaging 10-15 metres. On good days you can experience clear waters up to 25 meters visibility. |
|
| You will encounter a large variety of aquatic live on all the dive sites. Common sightings include Angelfish, Butterflyfish, Barracuda, Stingrays, Reef Sharks, Turtles, Groupers, Triggerfish, Trevally, Moray Eels, Shrimps, Nudibranchs, Pufferfish, Snappers and many, many more. Whale sharks occasionally visit the Perhentian Islands, although you have to be very lucky to see one! We discuss the marine life encountered on Watercolours dives during our thorough dive briefings and debriefings. |
|
| Our most requested dive sites are Tokong Laut, otherwise known as 'The Pinnacle', or 'Temple of the Sea'. Another firm favourite is the Union Star, more commonly known as 'The Sugar Shipwreck'. We visit both of these sites and many others very regularly. As we work with 4 small boats we can offer a great choice of dive destinations. |
