Boat-access coral slope with an exposed rocky corner.
Boat-access coral slope with an exposed rocky corner.
Tanjung Telunjuk is a boat-access coral slope on the southern tip of Lang Tengah Island. A rocky drop-off leads into a sloping profile with coral becoming more prominent as you move deeper, and the exposed corner can take wave action when seas pick up. It suits divers who want a short boat transfer, a clear depth progression, and a site that feels more dramatic than a flat reef.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
The rocky corner can be exposed to high waves at times, so keep an eye on sea state and buoyancy.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; skip the rocky tip when seas are rough.
Legal Notes
Lang Tengah closes to tourists during the monsoon season (November to February), so plan only for the open season.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Rocky drop-off leading into a slope, with coral becoming denser as you move deeper.
Freediving
Advanced freedivers can use the drop-off, but the site is better known as a scuba dive than a casual freedive.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is limited because the interesting structure sits deeper and the corner can get rough.
