    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Spice Divers in the Perhentians can be a pretty relaxed dive, a good spot if you’re looking for a chill afternoon or a morning warm-up. We often find the visibility here to be decent, giving you time to really scour the coral patches for smaller stuff. Keep an eye out for brown sandfish nestled in the substrate and those distinct bicolor nudibranchs crawling along the coral. It’s also one of the sites where we’ve occasionally spotted a narrow-barred Spanish mackerel cruising past, though that’s more of a lucky bonus than a guarantee. This site is pretty forgiving, making it a good choice for newer divers or anyone just wanting a laid-back dive.
