About This Dive Spot
Tanjung Tokong is a pinnacle situated at one of the northernmost points of Redang Island, positioned off a ridge. The recommended entry point is located to the east of Cagar Hutang Bay, where depths range from 5 to 7 meters. The site gradually slopes downwards, reaching depths of up to 30 meters. Due to its exposed location, divers may encounter strong currents, which contribute to the abundance of marine life. Notable species include a solitary Napoleon wrasse, along with schools of barracuda and fusiliers. The rocky outcrops provide habitat for morays, groupers, and various other reef fish.
