Pulau Tenggol, House Reef Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
4m - 18m
Depth Note
Public west-side Tenggol descriptions consistently place this easy house-reef style diving in a shallow-to-moderate range that aligns with the existing roughly 4 m to 18 m depth envelope.
Best Season
The practical diving season runs from about March through the end of October, with clearer water often reported later in the season. Monsoon conditions from November into February commonly shut down island access and diving.
Typical Conditions
This is one of Tenggol's calmer west-side options, with easier entries and generally milder current than the island's exposed drift sites. Visibility is workable in ordinary settled weather but can fall quickly after wind, swell, or suspended sediment move into the bay.
Safety & Access At Pulau Tenggol, House Reef
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Treat this as the island's easier shore option rather than a guarantee of flat conditions. Shore entries and night dives are best when recent wind and swell have stayed low and underwater visibility has not been stirred up.
Access Restrictions
Pulau Tenggol, House Reef is simple once you are on the island, but reaching Tenggol still depends on resort or dive-centre boat transfers from Dungun rather than an independent public ferry.
Legal Notes
Pulau Tenggol sits inside the Terengganu Marine Park system, so marine-park conservation rules apply and visitors are required to pay the published conservation charge for Marine Parks Malaysia.
