Perhentian boulder reef with easy access.
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.
Access Restrictions
Best handled as a guided boat dive; easier than T3 but still sea-dependent.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
An easier scuba dive site with a shallower depth profile than Terumbu Tiga.
Freediving
Shallow boulder sections may suit easy practice, but the site is better treated as a scuba reef dive.
Snorkeling
Calm days can work for snorkel, though the boulder reef is more rewarding with scuba.
