Stingray Alley
Protected Area
Tanjung Guntung Turtle Sanctuary
Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Stingray Alley offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Don't expect a whole alley full of stingrays, but Stingray Alley often delivers a few blue-spotted fantail rays resting on the sandy bottom. We've also spotted bamboo sharks tucked under rocks here, sometimes even a turtle cruising past. It's an easy, relatively shallow dive, good for new divers looking for a relaxed introduction to Perhentian's marine life without strong currents. Keep an eye on the sand and under ledges.
