Berjaya Dive Center, may be because of the period we were there, we felt the service to be highly professional, logistics were well planned and carried out on time as per schedules. The dive center was flexible with diver's requests and carried out responsibilities with much joy. After the dives, we even sat down to log and flipped through the fish species books. it's always a time i enjoy, when we talked and learnt about the creatures we just saw. Amazing experience. The beach was private, we tried body boards, but wasn't brave enough to canoe against the cascading waves.. woots. vivisbilty for all dives, were really good! Currents were stronger in the afternoons. overall, i give the northern bay dive sites of Redang an 8/10. If i chance upon redang again, i will definitely do another 6 dives at different sites. :)

3km from the jetty, and shallow, Pasir Akan is known to have experienced strong currents. The reef also houses black tip sharks and turtles.
