Teluk Air Tawar, a well sheltered bay is excellent for checkout dives and night dives from the shore. Depth gradually increases down the gentle slope to about 20 meters. Hard corals dominate the terrain with sporadic soft corals adding a touch of color to the monochromatic seascape. Shy garden eels can be observed towards the right of the bay at about 10 meters depth on the sandy bottom.
There are five wrecks, which also known as Five Sisters, located in the bay. The first is at around 24m. The remaining four go down to a depth in excess of 40m and are strung like a strand of pearls. Although quite barren in terms of coral growth, te wrecks are home to stonefish, crocodile fish, scorpionfish and nudibranchs.
