If you are new to diving, I recommend staying at depth here until you need to turn the dive, as the surface can get busy with snorkelers and small boats.
You will need to take a short one-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu, from where you can take a minibus approximately an hour to Kuala Besut Jetty. From there, a 45-minute speedboat ride will drop you off at your destination.
