The main island, Pulau Tenggol, is about 50ha. in size and is one of the most beautiful and serene islands off Peninsular Malaysia's east coast. It is also famous for its spectacular rocky cliffs that offer many excellent dive sites. Here, one can find pristine coral formations and a number of submerged rocks with excellent coral growths. The deep waters surrounding the island offer good visibility especially during the months of April until June.

"Alhamdulillah.... Dengan mendapat imformation dari VM, maka kami sekeluarga sudah pun menjejak kaki ke P.Tenggol ini. Memang benar, Pulau ini sunggoh indah dan menarik.Tepukau kami di buatnya,apabila kami menyelam,medapati berbagai2 jenis ikan yg berwarna warni,di-celah2 batu karang yg serba cangeh dan unik. Kami di-layan dengan baik oleh Pengurus chalet di-situ. Bayaran suatu Chalet untok 4 malam boleh kata berpatutan. Udara di-sana sunggoh berseh dan menakjupkan, cuma sedikit ta puas hati ialah, kalaulah professional Diver dari VM itu dapat bersama2 kami di-hari itu, alangkah bertambah baik dan gembiranya kami sekeluarga. Kami bercadang nak berkunjung kesana lagi, kali ini bersama2 Professional Diver VM pula." by Desacraft
