Staghorn corals are common in shallow areas and provide shelter for a variety of small fish and other sea animals whereas sea fans, soft tree corals and cup corals are found in deeper water. Rental equipment such as wet suits and scuba diving gear are provided or you can use your own equipment if you have it.

The reefs to the west of Chipu Island have some of the largest concentrations of sea anemones found anywhere. Mini Mount is a popular day and night diving site in Redang Island.

Diving at the northern and southern tip of the island gives you a chance to see reefs that slope from 4 to 20 meters down to the sandy bottom.
