Dive Tenggol
Off the Terengganu Malaysian coast resides a beautiful island dream that is the Tenggol Island or PulauTenggol. The small island of Tenggol is 2 kilometers wide and 3 kilometers long. This island is the last among the Pulau string of islands and is connected to the Dungun mainland by ferry. Originally uninhabited, the island is now a tourist attraction because of its beautiful island terrain and the lovely surrounding waters which makes diving a popular reason to travel to Tenggol. The island is said to have gained its original inhabitants from stranded boat people that were swept to the island after the Vietnam War.
The island has more than 20 beautiful dive sites for visitors to choose from. With clear warm waters from the South China Sea, this small island beauty has an even more beautiful underwater habitat. The coral reefs surrounding the island are home to many different species of plant and animal wildlife.
