Pulau Lima

A study conducted in 1976 discovered Pulau Lima along with its accompanying coastal mounts as most likely the most important entity throughout the marine park of Redang for the reason that reefs across this isle manifested all environments discovered in other places in Redang, hence offering miniaturized scenery of entire marine park environment.

Pulau Lima is easy to access through the resort hotels within Pasir Panjang. There is fine diving can be located all over it over the west, east, southern and northern ends. One of the most well-known is “Big Mount” around the north as well as garden of black corals through the west featuring its huge grounds of anemone along with other corals.

Pulau Lima South

To the south end, consists of a cycle of huge boulders blanketed with sea anemones, soft and hard corals and also some other invertebrates, together with caverns at the bottom part of the boulders shaping hiding places for quite a few reef fishes. To the east site, consists of high walls emblazoned with corals going down to roughly 13 meters ahead of sloping away little by little to 30 meters. Whips as well as sea fans can be seen about the more cavernous bottoms. Aside from the typical reef fishes, watch out for moray eels, puffer fish, lionfish and black tip reef sharks.

Pulau Lima North

Known as “Big Mount”, situated approximately 50-100 meters coming around the northern end of Pulau Lima, is thought-out with several divers for being the most suitable of the entire dive sites all over Pulau Lima and is most likely one of the deepest dive sites, still dropping to around 35 meters.

Big Mount is highly rated with resident divers, offers exciting experiences having a wide range of pelagic including barracudas, black-tip sharks, tuna, groupers and the scarce yet remarkable experience with the whale shark. Commencing at roughly 20m, the rock ground falls away to roughly 30 meters yet is brimming with several types of soft and hard corals, sea anemones, whip coral gardens and gorgonian fans.
