Beautiful site on the surface and underwater

Tokong Timur

Depth: 12m to 30+m
Avg Visibility : 15-30m

One of the most famous dives sites in Tenggol. Tokong Timur.

This dive site is awesome all year round. frequently you can see hunting great barracuda and giant schools of 20+ Batfish here. It's actually a small island in its self just south of Tenggol with a lighthouse on it. the south side is bar far the best with very nice colorful corals and fish in the shallows and interesting rocks to search around down deeper.

It’s between Aug and Oct every year that the Whale Sharks Are seen swimming around this rock feeding. The currents can be very strong here and even have undertow on the western side of it hence careful dive planning and a recommended Intermediate to expert level of experience.
