Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Pulau Perhentian Besar, Shark Point features a gradual reef slope decorated with massive fields of staghorn and table corals interspersed with sandy channels. The shallow setting allows plenty of bottom time to spot cruising reef sharks and grazing sea turtles as you drift over the reef structure.
Regular encounters with juvenile and adult blacktip reef sharks patrolling the sandy fringes
Extensive fields of hard coral formations housing diverse macro life
Frequent sightings of foraging green and hawksbill sea turtles
