From March to October, the deep waters of the Terengganu
Marine Park come to life, offering a perfect window into untouched coral
gardens and rare species of marine life. Situated off the Terengganu coast and
tucked in between its more famous sisters Redang and Tioman islands, Tenggol is
one of Malaysia’s most beautiful and serene islands. The island possesses
rugged cliffs, which offer a spectacular diving canvas and an ideal hideaway
for the tropical underwater world. Over 20 stunning dive sites surround the
island, with depths of up to 30 metres, and guaranteed sightings of some of the
world’s most spectacular marine life – parrot fishes, sea turtle, eagle rays, black-tipped
reef sharks, barracudas and more.
From Singapore, fly into Kuantan’s Sultan Ahmad Shah Airport
with Firefly (fireflyz.com.my). From
Kuala Lumpur, fly into Terengganu’s sultan Mahmud airport. The quaint fishing
town of Kuala Dungun, Terengganu, from where you can arrange boat transfers to
the island, is a three-hour drive from Sultan Mahmud Airport.
The 99-room Tanjong Jara Resort is an atmospheric sanctuary steeped
in age-old Malay traditions, and also has a Water Sports Centre with
experienced dive instructors. The resort has a Tengol Diver’s Escape package
that includes two days of diving excursions (from US$330; tanjongjararesort.com).
