About Penut
Penut is a Juara-side Tioman boat site that suits easy guided dives and relaxed macro hunting. The profile feels shallow and simple to read, with a sandy bay character and enough reef life to keep the route interesting for newer divers. Plan on a short boat run from Juara Jetty, and expect calmer days to be better than windier ones. Nudibranchs and small reef fish are the main draw.
