Diving in Malaysia
Malaysia is an extraordinary and highly accessible diving paradise. It is one of the few destinations where you can combine big fish and macro just fine, which is why it is one of the top destinations in the diving world for a reason.
- Lots of big fish
- Visit the rainforest
- Fantastic coral reefs
- Keep in mind the monsoon!
Malaysia is a country of vast extremes. Modern metropolises and mighty rainforests, indigenous tribes and the skyline of Kuala Lumpur, fantastic coral reefs and vast forests, big fish and macro, extraordinary luxury and pure simplicity. Malaysia stands with one leg in an ancient past and one leg in the modern world. The people there are extremely friendly and are known for their fantastic cuisine. We have a wide range of destinations in Malaysia. Of course, special diving opportunities, but also an extensive program of tours. Go in search of the orangutans, visit the Iban people, stay overnight in traditional longhouses and cruise the rivers by longboat.
Diving at Sipadan
Sipadan, located in the Celebes Sea in Malaysia, is a top destination for divers from around the world due to its abundance of marine life and beautiful coral formations, including the iconic Barracuda Point, Turtle Cavern and South Point, where sharks and turtles are often spotted; however, diving in Sipadan is highly regulated and permits are limited to 120 per day, making the experience exclusive and unforgettable.
