Best for advanced divers, 18-35m, boat entry, moderate current.
Five Sisters is a wreck and artificial reef site located in the Perhentian and Redang region of Malaysia. Reaching depths between 18 and 35 metres, this site is reserved for advanced divers due to the deep-water environment and potential for nitrogen narcosis. Access is by boat only, and divers must manage moderate currents and significant surge or swell conditions. The structure presents an overhead environment, requiring careful buoyancy control and redundant lighting. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres. Divers should remain close to the boat, monitor depth gauges closely, and carry a DSMB to account for changing conditions and the risk of entanglement.

Plan your bottom time conservatively given the 35-metre maximum depth and the moderate current, which can pick up without much warning. Bring a DSMB and a torch regardless of planned depth, as the wreck interior changes conditions fast.
Confirm access routes, parking, guide requirements, and any local permissions with operators or tourism authorities in Malaysia before your visit.
