Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Pulau Lima offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Pulau Lima offers a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the travel rust or for newer divers. The reef here is mainly hard coral, quite healthy, with plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the bommies. We usually spot resident blacktip reef sharks cruising the perimeter and the occasional green turtle munching on seagrass. It’s a solid choice for an easy second dive of the day.
