Tanjung Api

★★★★☆ (365)

Tanjung Api is located on a headland north of Tenggol Island. Due to the island’s shape and the currents around the headland, strong currents are common, making for fantastic drift dives. So let yourself drift and enjoy the breathtaking underwater world.

The topography here is rugged with wall sections and deeper rock formations – some of which are immense. These giant boulders are adorned with hard and soft corals, sea fans.
