Perhentian Turtle Divers

PADI center on Perhentian Kecil island. Turtle nesting area, colorful reef diving, and backpacker-friendly prices. Seasonal March-October.

Perhentian Turtle Divers operates from Long Beach on Perhentian Kecil, the smaller and more backpacker-oriented of the two Perhentian islands. The islands sit within a marine park, ensuring healthy reef systems and abundant marine life.

Green and hawksbill turtles nest on the island's beaches and are seen on virtually every dive. Sites like Temple of the Sea, Sugar Wreck, and Pinnacle Rock offer varied diving from shallow coral gardens to deeper pinnacles. Blacktip reef sharks are regular visitors.

PADI courses from Open Water through Divemaster at some of Malaysia's most competitive prices. The center also offers freediving introductions. House reef shore diving and night dives available. Seasonal operation from March to October (monsoon closure November-February).
