Malaysia Diving Holidays

Malaysia Diving Holidays

Malaysia is an extravagant country, filled with lush jungle and plentiful seas. South of Thailand, Malaysia is where the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca meet to create the perfect environment for divers. Mabul is a tiny pinprick of an island, south east of Borneo Island (or Sabah). Its name is synonymous with what has become known as “muck diving”. And is just a tantalizing 25 minutes north of Sipidan. All travel to Malaysia is with Malaysian Airlines, who take you to Kota Kinabalu via KL. A local flight and boat transfer then speed you onto Mabul. This is a distant corner of the globe, but one that is more than worth the journey.

Mabul’s greatness lies in its silty bottom, which is a haven for small critters and invertebrate marine life. This is a world of muck diving – every photographer’s dream environment. And the close proximity to Sipidan makes it a dive destination worth remembering. The numbers of divers allowed daily into Sipidan is strictly limited to 120 per day, making it an exclusive location to add to your logbook. This great seamount is most famous for schooling pelagics and turtle sightings. Bumphead parrotfish, trevally and barracuda in great numbers also patrol the reef.

The quality of the diving in Malaysia is pristine. The land based life is equally worth investigating with possible orangutan, hornbill and gibbon spots. It is this combination of verdant tropical landscape and varied diving makes Malaysia the dive holiday with a difference.
