About this dive site

This dive site is an underwater pinnacle located north of Tanjung Butong in Malaysia. The pinnacle's top is submerged at approximately 5 meters, descending to a maximum depth of 19 meters, with its base surrounded by distinctive boulder formations. It is situated within a notable current zone, making navigation challenging but rewarding for experienced divers. No specific history or story is provided.

Divers can expect to encounter various bottom dwellers, with lucky sightings of marble stingrays and more common Jenkins stingrays. The rocky structures are adorned with vibrant whip corals and small sea fans, contributing to a diverse benthic environment that supports various marine life.

The best time to visit this dive site would likely coincide with periods of optimal visibility and manageable currents, typically during Malaysia's dry season. Divers should be experienced in current diving due to its location in a current zone. For freedivers, the depths are accessible, but strong currents require advanced freediving skills and appropriate safety measures.
