Underwater at Tanjung Tengah

Tanjung Tengah

Redang Island · Malaysia

Tanjung Tengah — the 'middle cape' — is a rocky headland on Redang's western coast where leopard sharks gather year-round on sandy rubble patches at eight to fourteen metres, resting during the day in groups of two to five individuals. The cape's current-swept rocky slopes carry hard corals in outstanding health, with giant clams embedded in the reef structure and large sea anemone fields stretching across the shallower terraces. Blacktip reef sharks cruise the sandy margins, and the site's consistent shark activity across two species makes it one of Peninsular Malaysia's finest shark-focused dive sites.
