DIVING

COMMUNITY Damaged coral? How about transplants to revive them?

ACTIVITIES Everyone knows Redang; nobody’s heard of her ugly sister Pulau Bidong. But that may be about to change.

ACTIVITIES There is no shortage of great diving destinations in South-East Asia or even Malaysia. Here is a list of five from Malaysia.

ACTIVITIES For a spot of diving in a place within reach of civilisation, Kota Kinabalu’s Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is just swell.

ACTIVITIES UK citizens, Bill Boakes and Nicolla Briggs, decided that it was time to “see the world” and with a love for diving, the idea of a holiday in South-east Asia sounded ideal. Initially, they only planned to transit through Malaysia en route to Thailand, but a visit to the West Coast islands of Langkawi and Pangkor convinced them there was something “special” about this country.

ACTIVITIES Why travel to another country when you have great diving at your doorstep?

ACTIVITIES To get back into the diving season after a three-month hiatus, I decided to ease into it in a more leisurely way. My recent visit to Pulau Tenggol was suitably laid-back.
