Perhentian reef dive with boulders, whiprays, and good coral.
Stingray Alley is a Perhentian Kecil reef dive with huge boulders, a sandy bottom, and a relaxed, fishy feel. The site rewards slow scanning of the slope more than covering distance, especially when the water is calm. Divers come here for the whiprays and other reef life, with nudibranchs, blacktip reef sharks, tuna, trevally, and parrotfish adding to the mix. It is an easygoing site for beginner scuba divers, but the boulder terrain still makes good buoyancy worthwhile.
