Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Batu Nisan Laut offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Batu Nisan Laut is a solid pick for a relaxed dive in the Perhentians, especially if you’re new to the area or still building confidence. It’s shallow, hitting a maximum of 14 metres, which makes for plenty of bottom time and a nice bright reef. We often spot resident green turtles munching on the soft corals here, and the schools of yellowtail snapper are usually thick enough to swim through. Currents are generally mild, so it’s a good spot to drift along and just soak it all in.
