    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Mak Cantik offers a relaxed dive, suitable for newer divers or those wanting an easy afternoon. We've often spotted blue-spotted stingrays resting on the sandy patches, and there are usually plenty of nudibranchs if you take the time to look. It’s a gentle introduction to the Perhentian’s reefs, without strong currents to worry about.
