    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Sea Bell site in the Perhentians can be a gentle drift when the current picks up, but often it’s a calm amble along a sloping reef. We usually spot a green turtle or two munching on seagrass, quite unfazed by divers. Look closely at the coral bommies; you’ll often find some well-camouflaged stonefish hiding out, and plenty of nudibranchs if you slow down. It's a nice easy dive for getting back into things, or for photographers who like a relaxed pace.
