Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Turtle Bay offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Turtle Bay is pretty much what it says on the tin. We always see green turtles here, usually munching on the seagrass in the shallows or cruising over the sandy patches. It's a gentle site, good for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You’ll find some smaller reef fish amongst the scattered coral bommies too, but the turtles are the main draw.
