    Tanjung Api, off Redang, is a straightforward dive down to 22 metres, generally suited for intermediate divers. We often see schools of yellowtail snapper hanging around the reef, with plenty of fusiliers darting through the open water. There are some decent hard coral formations, and it’s a reliable spot for spotting green turtles munching away. It’s a solid mid-morning dive, not too challenging, and good for a relaxed swim-through.
