DIVE IN…

Malaysia offers two regions to explore: Peninsular Malaysia and the Malaysian portion of Borneo. The peninsula offers the tropical waters of the Andaman Sea, the Straits of Malacca, and the South China Sea. Malaysian Borneo is in the east, forming part of the Coral Triangle, a region recognised as the global centre of marine biodiversity and a global priority for conservation.

For many divers, Tioman and Redang on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia are the perfect weekend getaway trips. With sheltered bays, gentle currents and warm waters, no matter if you’re an Open Water diver or a Divemaster, you’ll learn to love these laid-back islands and their excellent dive sites.

If you’re making your way to Malaysian Borneo, there are locations that should not be missed out on, such as Lankayan, Mabul, Kapalai, and Sipadan. Lankayan is known for its macro life and shallow reef diving, while Mabul, Kapalai and Sipadan are a cluster of world-famous dive destinations that boast large turtle populations, schools of barracudas, whitetips, massive coral heads, and much more.
