MALAYSIA !
The best dive trips, resorts, tour and dive operators
are represented here in the On-line Malaysia Discovery Travel Catalog:
Sipidan Island, pioneered by Borneo Divers, is well
known as one of the finest land-based dive spots in the world. Schooling
jacks, abundant turtles, sharks and manta, even the occasional whale
shark delight divers year after year. Mabul is better known for
its outstanding small sea creatures and macro photography opportunities.
Malaysia is a place just on the edge of a 3rd world
country. Things actually work well here! The hotels are great, the
local tour operators are organized and friendly, the domestic airlines
actually fly and if delayed, you still get to where you are intended.
This is great news for those of you who are a bit queasy about going
to Southeast Asia; this is a great country to start with! Malaysia
was colonized by the British way back when, if you remember your
history well, you will note that most of the countries they colonized
ran rather well!
Malaysia is divided into two geographical areas, the
mainland of Peninsular Malaysia just north of Singapore and the
Island of Borneo. Borneo contains the states of Sarawak and Sabah
as well as the Indonesian state of Kalimantan (see Kalimantan
for diving there including Sangalaki
and Derawan).
Malaysia is very diverse, you can still dive some
of the worlds FINEST reefs such and Sipadan Island and Derawan Island
in Indonesia. These fantastic dive destinations are off the east
coast of the Malaysian State of Sabah. You can extend your dive
trips or do land only adventures to the Borneo states of Sabah and
Sarawak.
Sabah will reward you with anomalies such as Danum
Vally, where you may have the opportunity to walk in the rain forest,
happen across Orangutans, wild Elephants and very interesting flora
and fauna. Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary is near Sandakan, a full
day here is well worth the time, and you will interact with many
different rehabilitating orangutans of different ages. You can do
some other very interesting jungle adventures that take place along
the Kinabatagan river. For climbers there is Mt. Kinabalu near Kota
Kinabalu.
The state of Sarawak is chock full of local indigenous
people living in their long houses and villages. This is the last
of the culture you will see here.
The
diving on the east coast of Borneo is part of the Ring of Fire.
This is part Malaysian and part Indonesian waters and offers the
new and experienced diver the most diverse species the oceans have
to offer. This is a place that should be on the top ten of
your dive list! Lots to do for everywhere in Borneo, Malaysia!
