Tokong Laut
lies out in the sea in the northwest of the Perhentian Islands. It is a rocky pinnacle covered with soft and hard corals. You can find dozens of small bamboo sharks lying under the corals, sleeping. Sometimes there are several lying one on top of the other, moving their tails with the water current. Look under the rocks around 20m. If you don't find bamboosharks it will be a moray eel! Also a lot of mackerels and jackfish.

Terumbu Tiga
lies on the east of Perhentian Besar Island. It's a jumble of large rocks with many swim throughs. Visibility isn't so good and there is often a slight film of particles on the rocks. Nudibranchs seem to love it, specially one that is called "blue dragon", a beautiful bluish, violet slug. Large school of mackerels and another school of small herrings that just about cover the reef can be seen. The mackerels attack the herrings in large and small groups and try to divide the large school, round up smaller numbers of fish and urge them towards the surface. Leopard shark can be seen.
