This dive site, famously known as Bus Station, is strategically located between the picturesque Renggis Island and the bustling Berjaya Resort. It serves as a fascinating artificial reef, meticulously crafted from various sunken objects including stripped-apart buses, a jeep, and concrete structures. A unique and charming feature is a sunken heart-shaped structure complete with a bench, adding a whimsical touch to the underwater landscape and providing easy navigation points for divers.
The Bus Station teems with a vibrant array of marine life, demonstrating the success of its artificial reef project. Divers can delight in spotting colorful damsel fishes and playful anemone fishes, alongside intriguing sea cucumbers and delicate coral shrimps. Other common sightings include the charming pufferfish and elusive cuttlefish. The wrecks and artificial structures are beautifully adorned with an abundance of soft corals, creating a rich and thriving ecosystem.
For an optimal experience, the best time to visit the Bus Station dive site is during the dry season, typically from March to October, when visibility is generally excellent and currents are mild. Its shallow nature makes it an ideal spot for beginner divers to build confidence and for macro photography enthusiasts to capture detailed shots of the abundant small marine life. Freedivers will also find this site highly suitable due to its manageable depth and engaging underwater features.
