Best for intermediate divers, 7-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Tiger Reef is a pinnacle and reef site located off the Aur and Dayang Islands. The topography features walls and deeper slopes ranging from 7 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. Access is by boat only, and the site is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents and variable visibility between 8 and 25 metres. Divers should maintain good buoyancy control to avoid contact with sharp coral and rock structures. Water temperatures remain consistent between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius. Given the potential for shifting currents, staying close to a guide is recommended for the typical 50-minute dive.
