This dive site, Tanjung Tengah, serves as the easily accessible house reef for Redang Long Beach, characterized by its inviting fine white sand. This designated shore dive is celebrated for being hazard-free, making it an ideal location for a wide array of water activities including scuba diving, snorkeling, mermaiding, and freediving. A clear mooring line intelligently separates the natural and artificial reef areas from the boat lane, ensuring a safe and straightforward underwater experience with minimal navigation concerns.
The vibrant marine ecosystem at Tanjung Tengah offers ample opportunities for marine life encounters. Divers and snorkelers can frequently observe an array of Coral Groupers, various Snapper species, and playful Juvenile barracudas inhabiting the reef. Keep a keen eye out for larger, more elusive residents such as the graceful Turtles and occasional Reef Sharks that visit the area.
The optimal time to explore Tanjung Tengah aligns with Redang Island's main diving season, typically spanning from March to October when conditions are calmest. Its shallow average depth and calm environment make it particularly appealing for entry-level divers and snorkelers. For freedivers, the site's accessibility and varied marine life within its depth range provide an excellent training and exploration ground.
