Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Pulau Susu Dara offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Pulau Susu Dara sits comfortably in the beginner category, a nice, easy drift along a gently sloping reef. You're looking at a maximum depth of 13 metres, perfect for newer divers to find their buoyancy without feeling rushed. We often spot groups of schooling yellowtail snappers here, sometimes a cruising reef shark if you're lucky, and plenty of nudibranchs if you slow down and look closely. It's a reliable spot for a relaxed dive, a good warm-up for your Perhentian trip.
