Let Us Help You Discover Some of the Best Diving in Southeast Asia, Dive Malaysia!
Blessed with one of the richest marine environments on the planet, Malaysia is quickly becoming one of the leading dive and adventure travel destinations in all of Southeast Asia. With schooling hammerhead sharks at Layang Layang, swirling schools of barracuda and massive turtles at Sipadan Island, Whale Shark migrations around Lankayan, and bizarre macro diving at Kapalai and Mabul there is something to fascinate even the most intrepid of divers.
Malaysia which is over 800 km. long is made up of two large bodies of land that form a tropical archipelago of some of the most picturesque islands on earth. Peninsular Malaysia which is home to the capital city of Kuala Lumpur and Borneo (Sabah) to the east are separated by the warm clear waters of the South China Sea. Sabah sits at the northern tip of the island of Borneo and is justifiably considered one of the most biologically rich regions on the planet. Lapped by the South China Sea on the west and the Sulu and Sulawesi Seas on the east, Sabah is covered in lush rainforests and has an unsurpassed collection of unique plants and weird animal species. Diving in Sabah is the basis of Malaysia's legitimate claim to world class scuba diving destinations. Malaysia's best dive resorts are located on the beautiful coral atolls and picturesque islands off of the coast of Sabah.
Dive Adventures Asia offers a broad range of Malaysia diving opportunities to the very best dive destinations of Borneo and Sabah. You can experience world class diving in Sabah from a number of premier Sabah dive resorts year round.

Sipadan / Kapalai - Considered by many to be the pinnacle of diving in Sabah and the crown jewel of Malaysia scuba diving, Sipadan Island is one of the top diving destinations in the world. Diving Sipadan is always incredible and at times it is simply majestic. The tiny oceanic island is the top of an ancient volcano that rises up from the depths of a 600 meter abyss in the northern Sulawesi Sea. The list of attractions rising from the depths is quite staggering and all the more exceptional as it involves plenty of fish encounters, macro to massive. Sipadan is widely known as one of the most spectacular dive sites on the planet and one of the big fish and turtle capitals of the world. Jacques Cousteau declared Sipadan an untouched piece of art, judge for yourself.
