About this site
Terumbu Kili, also called South Point, is a rocky outcrop that breaks the surface at the southern tip of Pulau Pinang, off Redang. It slopes down to a sandy bottom at about 20 m and is one of Redang's top dive sites.
Strong surface currents run in the channel between the outcrop and Pulau Pinang, so it is best left to experienced divers. On the slope, several ledges hold a coral garden of leather corals, soft coral, whips and fans. Hawksbill turtles are commonly seen. Divers may also see blacktip sharks, barracuda, jacks, snappers, fusiliers, jellyfish and schools of yellowtail.
