Dive-site story
Pulau Labas sits northwest of Tioman Island as a jagged cluster of rocky outcrops exposed to open water. Below the surface, massive granite boulders stack together to form an intricate network of caverns, tunnels, and swim-throughs often compared to Swiss cheese. Sunbeams slice through overhead gaps in the rock, illuminating soft corals, sea fans, and resting marine life sheltered within the crevices.
Extensive interconnected boulder swim-throughs and labyrinthine rock formations
Frequent encounters with resting nurse sharks and juvenile blacktip reef sharks under overhangs
Sheltered crevices housing moray eels, macro crustaceans, and nudibranchs
Location
