Behind Mamutik Island, The Rock is a boat-accessed reef in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park with a shallow coral profile, soft coral patches, and a lot of fish life. It is a friendly beginner dive that still feels lively, with shark and turtle sightings, a compact route, and enough reef structure to keep the circuit interesting without turning it into a deep wall dive.
