    Batu Nisan sits off the Perhentian Islands, a site we’ve found good for a relaxed dive. We typically see things like schooling yellowtail snappers, often some blue-spotted rays resting on the sand, and the occasional turtle gliding past. It's a mellow spot, good for newer divers getting comfortable or anyone wanting an easy second dive after something more challenging. Expect decent visibility on calm days.
