Watch the conditions before entering, as surge, swell, and a shore break can make the boat entry more challenging than the dive itself. Keep clear of the wall and reef edges throughout the dive, as the coral and rocks are sharp and easy to brush against when adjusting for swell movement.
Accessible by boat from Kampung Tekek or Mersing.
