Why Malaysia is a world-class diving destination for many divers


Divers of various skill levels can venture into the sea in Malaysia, thanks to the relatively calm waters here. - ERIC GOH

Malaysia is home to some of the world’s best diving spots. What’s even better is that divers of various skill levels can venture into the sea, thanks to the relatively calm waters here.

Beautiful tropical islands in Peninsular Malaysia such as Tioman, Lang Tengah, Redang, Tenggol and Perhentian call out to new divers with stretches of colourful corals. Some sites are even home to shipwrecks that make diving an even more exciting experience.
