    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Tanjung Tengah is a gentle spot on Perhentian Besar, perfect for easing into the Perhentians' underwater world. At a consistent 9m, it's shallow enough for beginners or those getting back in the water after a break. We often spot resident green turtles munching on seagrass, sometimes even a hawksbill gliding by. It’s a comfortable, easy dive, usually with minimal current, making it a good choice for a relaxed afternoon.
