Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Teluk Gadong - Perhentian offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Teluk Gadong is a shallow, sheltered spot on Perhentian Kecil, ideal for new divers or those dusting off their fins. We often bring our Open Water students here for their first few dives, as the maximum depth of 13m keeps things relaxed. You’ll drift over sandy patches and small coral bommies, usually spotting reef fish like parrotfish and small snappers. Look closely in the nooks and crannies for nudibranchs – we’ve found a few beauties here over the years. It’s a gentle introduction to Perhentian diving.
