About Fendy Rock
Fendy Rock is a short-boat Sepanggar Island dive near Kota Kinabalu that suits newly certified divers and slow macro searching. The site is a sandy slope with little relief, so it stays easy to read underwater and rewards careful, close viewing instead of wall-style cruising. Expect nudibranchs, snapper, schooling fish and hawksbill turtles, and plan it for calmer days when current stays light and visibility holds.
