Malaysia is fast becoming one of the leading
dive destinations of the world with one of the richest marine environments in
the Indo-Pacific Basin. The incredible bio-diversity of marine life, coupled
with beautiful islands, white sandy beaches and clear warm waters, keeps divers
coming back for more. |
|
|
In Malaysia, the coral reef eco-system supports more
that 50 generas of coral and more that 200 species of fish. It is not an
exaggeration to say that almost every time a marine bio-diversity survey is
conducted in Malaysia's tropical seas, the species list increases! |

The Still Unexplored Sea
Malaysia's tropical forests and seas are the ancient homes to a staggering
diversity of animal and plant life that has evolved over countless millions of
years. A dip below the warm sea's surface guarantees you an astounding
experience with a concentration of vibrant and exotic marine life rarely
rivalled anywhere else. |
|
|
Malaysia's spectacular tropical reefs boast an
additional attraction - it is one of the few places on earth where macro
organisms and large pelagics overlap so broadly in the same waters. Only a
handful of diving sites in the world can offer both these sights in one diving
holiday. |
|
|
Malaysia is located in the heart of the Indo-Pacific
basin, which is the heart of the worlds' richest marine biodiversity area,
where scientists believe the marine life of the Pacific Ocean evolved. |

With the Peninsula’s long coastline and over two hundred islands, visitors are
spoilt for choice for beaches with soft white sand, warm inviting waters,
brilliant tropical sunshine and rustic fishing villages.
Both the enthusiast and professional will find a host of activities to suit
them; be it the simple pleasures of beachcombing or the delightful sport of
scuba diving.
The beaches range from the smooth sandy stretches of East Coast to the unique
black sand beach of Pantai Pasir Hitam and the pebbled beach of Pantai Batu
Kerikil (both of which are found in Pulau Langkawi,
Kedah) |
|
|
Many of Malaysia’s beaches are found
nestling in secluded islands and coves, making them the perfect place for a
peaceful vacation. Water activities are aplenty for those who crave adventure
but an alternative would be to slap on some sunscreen, grab a beach towel and
soak up the sun. |
