Dive-site story
Located off Pulau Bidong in Terengganu, this underwater gallery features an artificial reef arrangement of submerged cultural monuments and heritage artifacts placed by Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. Divers navigate among full-scale and miniature replicas of local historical icons resting on a sandy seabed, which have become colonized by encrusting corals, sponges, and resident reef fish.
Submerged cultural heritage sculptures and artificial reef structures
Schools of juvenile snappers and fusiliers sheltering inside the monuments
Gentle diving conditions suitable for open water training and underwater photography
