About Teluk Kerma
Teluk Kerma is a shallow shore reef on the north side of Perhentian Kecil, best for easy training dives and relaxed snorkelling. The route is a compact mix of rock, sand, and coral pockets rather than a long wall, so it suits slow laps and macro searching. The bay is relatively sheltered, which helps keep conditions calm when the weather is settled. Reef fish are the main draw, with parrotfish, angelfish, triggerfish, rays, and occasional turtles or sharks.
