About Batu Tabir
Batu Tabir is a current-zone pinnacle on Perhentian Kecil north of Tanjung Butong, with a shallow top and a boulder base. The dive works as a controlled boat drop onto the structure, then a careful pass over the rocks and coral-fringed edges. Marble and Jenkins stingrays are the signature sightings, alongside other bottom dwellers, whip corals, and small sea fans. It suits divers who are comfortable managing current and staying close to the rock line.
