Pulau Susu Dara
A cluster of small islets northwest of the Perhentian group. Surrounded by the region's most popular dive sites, it has the 'Temple of the Sea' reef and the 'Sugar Ship' wreck nearby.
Pulau Susu Dara (meaning 'virgin's breast') consists of two small islands west of Pulau Rawa. Their surrounding reefs and coral walls are among the most popular dive areas in the Perhentian group. Divers often see giant grouper, turtles, stingrays and large schools of trevally. Nearby are the Tokong Laut reef pinnacle, known as the 'Temple of the Sea,' and the 'Sugar Ship' wreck dive, a vessel that sank in 2000. There are no facilities on the islands, so you can visit only with a dive shop or snorkel tour. Dive shops in Long Beach and on Perhentian Besar offer the PADI Open Water certification, priced low by Southeast Asian standards.
