Underwater world of the Turtle beach (Northern part of the Besar island) on Perhentian Islands in Malaysia

I saw some new creatures on the Turtle beach, here they are: stingray and houndfish, Diploria strigosa.

We snorkeled first at the left rocky side of the Turtle beach.

Turtle beach is not the best snorkeling place on the Besar island, but you can find here new fish.

I can say that parrotfish are present everywhere on the Perhentian islands.
