Perhentian boulder reef with easy access.
Terumbu Dua (T2) is a shallow Perhentian boulder reef set just shoreward of Terumbu Tiga, with broad rock shapes, coral growth, and open sand that make the site easy to read underwater. It suits relaxed boat dives and beginner-friendly practice, while still offering enough structure for parrotfish, sharks, and macro life to keep the dive interesting. The appeal is the cleaner, less demanding version of the nearby T3-style reef.
