About Tokong Timur

It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in April, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Kerteh. Within 5 km we also list 5 dive sites.
