About Shark Plateau

Shark Plateau is a boat-accessed plateau off Weh Island's Batee Tokong ridge, known for blacktip, whitetip, and grey reef sharks, plus tuna, jackfish, eagle rays, and groupers over a current-swept profile. It suits advanced divers who want a fast-moving pelagic dive rather than a calm reef cruise.
