    Teluk Air Tawar offers a relaxing drift dive along a sloping reef. You'll often spot green turtles here, munching on the seagrass beds, alongside schools of snapper and fusiliers. It's a straightforward site, good for knocking off the rust or for newer divers getting comfortable with currents. We’d suggest it for an easy second dive of the day.
