Boat access is required to reach the site, so arrange your vessel in advance and confirm current conditions with the operator before jumping in, as rip currents can catch inexperienced divers off guard. Entry and exit deserve attention because a shore break can make returning to the boat tricky, so follow your guide's instructions closely on timing.
Most visitors reach the dive centre by road to Mersing or Tanjung Gemok, followed by a ferry to Kampung Genting jetty, then a 5-minute walk.
