Dive-site story
Located off the northern side of Pulau Paku Besar in the Redang archipelago, this dive site features submerged granite boulders cascading down to a sandy seabed. Hard coral formations such as staghorn, table, and pore corals dominate the shallows, while sea whips and barrel sponges populate the deeper flanks. Divers navigate around rock clusters where schooling reef fish and macro critters take shelter from currents.
