Usually dived by boat off Perhentian Kecil's northern side, with the calmer March to October season giving the most reliable visibility and sea state.
About Sand Ray Alley
Sand Ray Alley is a Perhentian Kecil boat dive where sloping boulders give way to open sand and larger rays often cruise or settle along the bottom. The route is usually treated as an easy second-dive style site, with relaxed terrain, scattered reef growth, and enough variety to keep both ray hunters and fish-watchers interested. Jenkin's whiprays and blue-spotted stingrays are the signature sightings, with regular chances for turtles, blacktip reef sharks, nudibranchs, trevallies, tuna, and humphead parrotfish around the reef edge.
