Due to its geography location, the waves of Pangkor Island are surprising gentle on the shore while the immediate waters are shallow at most parts, allowing children to snorkeling in relatively safety.
Colourful marine fish, large and small, sometimes in shoals, flit about the reefs and jetty pillars, impatiently waiting for food tossed into the water by visitors, churning the surface into a frenzy when they do so.
The waters around the island promise snorkelers good visibility at about 16 metres.
Magnificent coral reefs hugging the shoreline afford views of pink and green parrot fish and turquoise moon wrasses, darting around brain coral, staghorn coral, boulder coral, feather stars and sea fans.
