Malaysia is
one of the most beautiful destinations for both diving and snorkeling in
the world, dotted with over 200 islands, soft white beaches, and
countless secluded bays lined with picturesque limestone caves and
caverns.
The best
beaches are found along the coast of Peninsular Malaysia, but that
doesn’t mean great snorkeling is limited to those areas. Nine of
Malaysia’s islands form a federally protected Marine Park, requiring
snorkelers to follow guidelines that help preserve the coral and ocean
life, and making it a location worth visiting again and again.
The
Indo-Pacific coral reefs are home to one of the most prolific
congregations of underwater life on the planet, forming an ecosystem
some is is rivaled only by the rainforests of the Amazon and the Congo.
Because of the
variety of the species of fish that can be found when snorkeling
Malaysia, a guidebook to the aquatic life in the region will enhance
your experience. While almost all of Malaysia lends itself to
outstanding snorkeling adventures, it is a huge and varied area - so be sure to research each of the areas
you’re considering for a visit in order to find the location that best
suits your skill level and interests.
