About this site
Turtle Point is a shallow fringing reef on the western side of Pulau Tenggol, off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia. The dive starts at around 4 metres and slopes gently down to about 18 metres. It is a beginner site.
The site sits in a sheltered, deep bay, and the water is calm with hardly any current. Soft and hard corals cover a good stretch of the reef.
Turtles and big humphead parrotfish are seen here, along with nudibranchs and plenty of reef fish. Divers have also reported guitar sharks and eagle rays on the deeper sandy areas now and then.
