The underwater world with beauty of sea creatures and coral garden are worthwhile to look if you are experienced divers. If you travel from Kuala Lumpur or Selangor, we suggest having 3 days 2 nights trip to Kuala Dungun and go for day trip to Tenggol Island. Do remember to bring enough cash before you start your journey to island.
