Tiger Reef
Tiger Reef is a submerged pinnacle between Pulau Labas and Pulau Sepoi, rising from about 25–30 m to roughly 10 m below the surface. It usually carries a current and is covered in soft coral, barrel sponges and sea fans, with schooling barracuda, nudibranchs, lionfish, morays and an occasional turtle. Position is an approximation placed next to the islet's OpenStreetMap location; no operator publishes exact GPS for this site.
