Tuna Bay, Malaysia: easy house-reef snorkel and dive
Tuna Bay, Malaysia: easy house-reef snorkel and dive
A house-reef dive directly off the resort, reached by an easy beach entry. The reef runs out toward the marine park jetty, with hard coral and boulder sections along the way. It is a relaxed shallow site that works well for snorkeling or easy diving, though speed boats can chop the surface and marine park rules keep the shoreline controlled.
