Tanjung Basi
★★★★☆
(473)
Tanjung Basi locates at the Northernmost Tip of Perhentian Besar. The reef sits at 15-20m depth, and current can be strong at times. This is the primary site in Perhentian for deep diving activities, with massive boulders, overhangs, and swim throughs offers an interesting opportunity for divers to explore.
Groupers, Fusiliers, and Jacks are common sights here. Do watch out for Triggerfishes, as some can get overly intimate with divers. Every now and then a Pelagic passes by in distance.
