Pulau Ekor Tebu

Pulau Ekor Tebu is a small island off Redang Island in the South China Sea, part of the Terengganu marine park area on Malaysia's east coast. Dive sites in this cluster are typically reached by boat from Redang itself or from mainland jetties such as Merang or Shahbandar during the diving season that runs roughly from March to October, when the monsoon has passed. The site here is a wall reaching a maximum depth of around 18 metres, rated a beginner dive. Divers have reported an underwater cave along the wall, along with sightings of barracuda, batfish, eagle rays, and trevally.
