Dive-site story
Set along the rocky shores of Pulau Tenggol, Rajawali Reef features sloping fields of boulder coral and sea fans that step down to a sandy seabed. Divers navigate around submerged granite formations interspersed with expansive leather corals and table coral formations. While protected bays in the area offer calm explorations, the outer edge catches coastal currents that attract schooling pelagic fish and passing sea turtles.
Extensive hard and soft coral formations resting on granite boulders
Frequent encounters with resident green and hawksbill turtles feeding on the reef slope
Dense aggregations of yellowtail fusiliers and chevron barracuda in the blue
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Operations pause during the northeast monsoon between November and February when rough seas affect boat transit.
