    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Seahorse Divers in the Perhentians can be a pleasant, gentle dive, particularly if you’re looking for a relaxed afternoon. The site itself is more of a sloping sandy bottom with patches of seagrass, which, for us, is often where the real treasures hide. Keep an eye out for stonefish tucked into the sand, surprisingly well camouflaged, and various sea cucumbers, including the blackspotted variety, slowly making their way across the bottom. If you’re lucky, sometimes a whale shark cruises through, but even without that, it's a good spot for new divers or those who prefer a slower pace to really observe the smaller stuff.
