Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Shavers rock offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Shavers Rock is a good spot for a relaxed dive in the Perhentians, particularly if you're newer to diving or just want an easy morning. It’s a rocky reef, shallower around the main rock with some interesting nooks and crannies to explore. We’ve seen a good variety of reef fish here, along with the occasional turtle gliding by. It’s a solid choice for a second or third dive of the day when you're not chasing big pelagics.
