Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Tumbu Kili offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Tumbu Kili offers a straightforward dive in the Perhentians. We often find a good mix of smaller reef fish here, along with the occasional turtle cruising past. It's a relaxed site, good for knocking off some rust or for less experienced divers looking to get comfortable in the water. We generally prefer it as a second dive when we're keeping things easy.
