About this site

Shark Point is a dive site at Tenggol where divers work between 8 and 22 metres. The current is low to moderate and visibility runs from 10 to 20 metres, and the site is best known for reef sharks and a wide diversity of life.

Around Tenggol it is treated as a step on from the gentler opening dives at Fish Bowl and Amazing Grace. Together with D'Wall, it offers a different environment and a first mild exposure to current once a diver has built comfort and buoyancy on those early dives.
