Dive-site story
Rising from the seabed off the southern coast of Pulau Tioman, Rayner's Rock consists of massive granite boulders stacked together to form deep gullies, overhangs, and swim-throughs. The exposed pinnacle attracts schools of pelagics along its current-washed flanks, while colorful seafans and encrusting sponges crowd the protected recesses between the monoliths.
Dynamic granite boulder topography with caverns and narrow swim-throughs
Schools of chevron barracuda and bigeye trevally patrolling the open current
Dense gorgonian sea fans and whip corals coating rock clefts
