Telok
Ayer Tawar
Dept : 20 - 100 feet
Level : Open Water and above
This is a well-sheltered bay and the waters is generally calm. Considered
the house reef of the resorts which is about 200 metres from shore,
its slopes from 10 to 40 feet with sand bottom covers with hard
and soft corals. Other marine life includes garden eels, our resident
turtle, moray eel, box fist and even lionfish. There are two wrecks
located in this bay at 60 feet and the other is at 90 feet. Doing
a dawn dive here is like visiting Raffles Place MRT station during
the morning peak hours. Jump into our house reef right in front
of your chalet and enjoy a close encounter with one of the resident
turtles and a chance upon a herd of grazing humphead parrotfish
as shallow as a few feet of the bay water. Night dive here are gratifying
with exquisite black and white spotted baby barramundi cod and our
favourite little resident baby torpedo ray, a mere 15 cm long.
