About this site
Pulau Hantu South is the southern reef at Pulau Hantu, with the South Jetty as its landmark. Diving directly at the jetty is not allowed because boats come and go carrying passengers, and the better diving is on the reef to the left, west of the jetty.
The current hits the island at the jetty and splits two ways, so the direction can change as you dive along the reef at the breakwater. The reef has more structure than the flat bottom of the other Pulau Hantu sites, with pipes and bigger rocks, and it holds the usual nudibranchs and reef fish. Fishermen cast from the jetty, and the site is littered with tangled fishing line and several rods and reels.
