Terengganu Marine Park
Established as a marine park in 1994, the islands off Terengganu are gazetted to conserve this remarkably beautiful spot. The park is made up of Redang Island as well as others in the Redang Archipelago, including Lima, Ekor Tebu and Pinang, Pulau Perhentian Besar and Kecil, and Pulau Tenggol, among others.
Fishing is prohibited in the park and visitors are asked to behave in an environmentally friendly manner. The crystal-clear waters offer perfect opportunities to explore beautiful reefs and see a plethora of marine life (like giant groupers and eels) by either diving or snorkelling. A few of the islands also have excellent small trails for hiking, and you can spot animals including monkeys, monitor lizards and a variety of birds.

Recommended by all due to its low divemaster-to-student ratio, Turtle Bay Divers is staffed by friendly yet professional divemasters. Spot whale sharks and octopuses on the dives with Turtle Bay.
