Redang Island

Redang Island lies within the Terengganu Marine Park, nearby the city of Kuala Terengganu, at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Redang offers great dive sites and perfect dive conditions. “Pulau Lima” is a seamount dive site characterised by impressive, coral adorned boulders to around 30 metres/100 feet. When the currents are running, the highlight of diving here is the chance to see large pelagic species including tuna, barracudas, reef sharks, manta rays and even whales.

This island is also under Terrenganu state administration, and almost all accommodation here are resorts. While snorkelling and diving is a must, other than water based activities why not enjoy Redang’s beaches which are perfect to simply relax the day away. This site is also one of the most beautiful dive sites in Malaysia.
