The east coast of peninsular Malaysia shuts for the north-east monsoon from November to February, boats are hauled out, resorts close and the islands empty. The Perhentians were a stopping point for traders waiting out exactly that wind. Anchorage: Anchor in the channel between the two islands, in water clear enough to see the anchor set, a standard east-coast Malaysian stop outside the monsoon. Hazards: The wreck is broken and silty inside, so penetration is for wreck-trained divers only. Meer
