Pelong Island

When it comes to the best dive sites in Brunei, people always mention Pelong Island. This dive spot is best suited for inexperienced divers or snorkelers. It is a rather shallow dive location, with depths ranging from three feet (1 m) to 59 ft (18 m). Again, like with other Brunei dive locations, expect warm water, decent visibility, and little to no current. To reach the diving site is to park the boat on the sandbanks farther away from the island and then swim to the reef. Beginners can then enjoy the reef after adjusting their buoyancy. Because the reef surrounds the island, you have various options for diving.

Pelong Island is designated as a protected area. No one is allowed to visit the island, thus you cannot anchor or set foot on it. This implies that it is a haven not just for coral and marine life, but also for birds and sea birds. The reef is made up of a diverse assortment of hard corals that may be found underwater. Along with moray eels, stonefish, and pipefish, you'll encounter a lot of little reef fish.

Location: Pelong Island is a tiny yet picturesque island located 20 minutes by boat from Muara port.
