Why dive here
With 143+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and whale sharks - Tanjung Api offers some of Redang Island's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, October.
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.
