Simply the best diving in Peninsula Malaysia. Diving in Tenggol, in general prefer a diver to be advance certified. As most of the popular dive sits are deeper with current. Divers can enjoy clear warm water form the south, in between the month of March to October. By saying that, it does not mean, these dive sites is not drivable by open water certified divers.

All divers need, is to dive with a qualified Dive Master or Instructor, that know the local condition well, for safe entry and exit.
