    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Matahari Divers, on Perhentian Besar, offers a relaxed shore dive, perfect for warming up or a gentle afternoon. We find it’s mostly sandy with some scattered coral heads, though the seagrass beds are where the real action happens. Keep an eye out for green turtles munching away, and if you’re lucky, a whale shark might cruise by in season. It’s a pretty easy dive, suitable for newer divers or those who just want to unwind underwater without battling currents. You’ll spot plenty of pinkfish and blackfish flitting about, plus interesting nudibranchs if you go slow.
