Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Batu Berendam offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Batu Berendam is a solid choice when you want a straightforward dive without too much fuss. Dropping to a maximum of 22 metres, it’s a good intermediate site that usually has comfortable conditions. We've spent plenty of time here spotting yellowtail snappers schooling around the larger bommies, and there’s always a chance of finding a turtle munching away on the corals. It's a relaxed spot, ideal for an afternoon dive, particularly if you're looking to log some bottom time without a challenging current.
