Best for intermediate divers, 20-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Pulau Pisang offers a diverse underwater topography featuring reefs, walls, and pinnacles. This site is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents that often dictate the pace of the dive. Depths typically range between 20 and 30 metres, with visibility fluctuating from 10 to 30 metres. Boat access is required for all dives. Divers should be aware of potential down currents, particularly near the pinnacles, and maintain strict buoyancy control. Night diving is available, providing an alternative perspective of the reef structures. Always confirm tidal timing with your local operator to ensure safe conditions before entering the water.
