Redang - Tanjung Lebah

Tanjung Lebah is one of those spots we always try to hit when we're in the Perhentians. It’s not always busy, sometimes we’ve had the entire site to ourselves, which is a real bonus in this region. The site itself is a gentle slope, starting shallow and easing down to about 18 meters, so it’s pretty forgiving. We’ve found the currents here are usually mild, though a brisk tide can pick things up a bit, especially around the point. What we really love about Tanjung Lebah is the coral topography. You get some impressive formations of staghorn and branching sandpaper coral, making for some interesting swim-throughs if you know where to look. We often spot big schools of yellowstripe scad darting through the coral heads, and the occasional blackfish will cruise by. Keep an eye out for pale-edged stingrays in the sand patches, too. We’ve had a few good sightings there over the years. This site is great for divers who enjoy taking their time, exploring the nooks, and don't feel the need for big pelagics on every dive. It's a proper reef dive, in the best sense.
