Introduction of Malaysia
Malaysia is a country of contrasts, bathed in the warm tropical sun, endowed with 3,000 kilometers of coastline, several historic cities, a unique cultural mix, a string of cool hill resorts, the world’s oldest rainforest—and even Southeast Asia’s highest mountain. Add to this a delightful fusion.
Located in the heart of the Indopacific Basin in the centre of the area famed for the greatest marine bio-diversity in the world, Malaysia's marine parks offer diving enthusiasts an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy some of the most beautiful marine sights in the world.
From schooling hammerhead sharks, huge schools of barracudas and various turtles to the bizarre frogfish or ghost pipefish, there is always something to fascinate the diver. The variety of fishes, corals, and shells found in these waters are said to outshine even those found in the Pacific Islands. The diversity of the marine ecosystem here makes it an ideal location for underwater explorations.
Of all the dive spots, there is one that stands on its own - Sipadan Island, off Sabah. With its deep waters, lush coral reefs, and vast array of deep ocean species, Sipadan was recognized as an underwater haven by none other than Jacques Cousteau, ocean explorer per excellence. Another such beauty in Sabah is Pulau Layang-layang (Island of the Swallows).
