Why dive here
With 153+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales, whale sharks and pufferfish - Turtle Beach offers some of Perhentian Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, August.
Turtle Beach, off Perhentian Besar, is a straightforward shore dive, perfect for those getting comfortable in the water. We usually find it calm here, with plenty of green turtles grazing on the seagrass beds. It’s a good spot for spotting juvenile reef fish and for longer, relaxed dives, particularly if you’re focusing on photography.
