Pemuteran
This area has plenty of coral such as Elkhorn and Staghorn, a host of tropical reef fish and a profusion of Moorish Idol. A turtle sanctuary at Pemuteran regularly releases turtles into the sea. Good snorkeling available right off the beach. The Matahari Beach Resort has its own PADI dive school and offers direct access to Menjangan Island and the reefs just off the mainland.
Menjangan Island (Deer Island)
There are a few dive sites to choose from at Menjangan with good conditions and excellent visibility. The snorkeling is fantastic too. Menjangan also has a wreck, known as the "Anker" because of its heavily encrusted anchor at the top of the reef. Fixed moorings have been built to prevent damage, and the island can be reached by a 30minute boat ride from Labuan Lalang. |
