About Tanjung Tokong

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow start onto a ridge and deeper slope; current exposure increases as you move into the blue, so plan conservative gas and buoyancy.
Freediving
Advanced only. Use a support plan and choose calm days; the exposed ridge is not a casual breath-hold site.
Snorkeling
Not recommended as a snorkel site. The best structure and fish life sit deeper and the current can run.
