This dive site is located at Bunot Beach, a picturesque jungle-fringed white sand beach on Tioman Island, Malaysia. It features a coral reef stretching over 500 meters, providing easy access to a vast shallow area. The site's limited depth of 5 meters makes it ideal for relaxed exploration, particularly for beginners or those seeking an easy shore dive, with navigation primarily following the reef line.
Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter a variety of vibrant reef fish, including readily spotted butterflyfish and Ocellaris clownfish. The scattered living corals form the backbone of the ecosystem, supporting diverse small marine life, though larger pelagic species are uncommon in this shallow environment.
The best time to visit Bunot Beach for diving and snorkeling is generally during Tioman Island's dry season, typically from March to October, when conditions are calm and visibility is optimal. Its shallow nature makes it excellent for dive training, refreshers, and macro photography enthusiasts. Freedivers will also find the calm, clear, and shallow waters highly suitable for practice and enjoyment.
