Malaysia's tropical forests and seas are the ancient homes to a staggering diversity of animal and plant life that has evolved over countless millions of years. A dip below the warm sea's surface guarantees you an astounding experience with a concentration of vibrant and exotic marine life rarely rivalled anywhere else.
 
 Malaysia's spectacular tropical reefs boast an additional attraction - it is one of the few places on earth where macro organisms and large pelagics overlap so broadly in the same waters. Only a handful of diving sites in the world can offer both these sights in one diving holiday.
 
 Malaysia is located in the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin, which is the heart of the worlds' richest marine biodiversity area, where scientists believe the marine life of the Pacific Ocean evolved.
