About this site
Terumbu Dua, also known as T2, is an offshore pinnacle in the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia, surrounded by shallow coral reef. It lies next to the larger Terumbu Tiga, T3, and the two are close enough to be explored together, though T3 is big enough to dive separately. T2 sits closer to shore and is shallower, with a maximum depth of about 14 metres and an average of about 10 metres.
The site has pristine soft corals and a high diversity of macro organisms, which makes it good for macro photographers.
