Anak Chantek

Anak Chantek is a dive site off Redang Island, part of the marine park off the coast of Terengganu on Malaysia's east coast. Redang's sites are typically reached by short boat rides from the island's resorts, over the granite reef formations common to this stretch of the South China Sea. The site sits over a reef bottom to a maximum depth of about 18.3 metres, rated as a beginner dive with visibility generally described as great. Divers here have also reported frogfish, nudibranchs, and seahorses among the reef's smaller residents.
