Reef
Local operator required
Use a local operator familiar with the reef because it has no surface marker and is usually found by captains who know the drop.
Boat-only reef with no surface marker; plan a guided deep dive and expect strong fish life, black coral, and a site that suits experienced divers.
About Karang Selat
Karang Selat is a tucked-away Perhentian boat site best suited to experienced divers. The reef sits well below the surface with no marker to line up from above, so the dive depends on a captain who knows the mark and a controlled descent. Once found, it rewards the effort with black coral growth and active reef life rather than an easy shallow profile.
