Diving in Kaula Lampur

Can anyone point me to a dive shop in Kaula Lampur? I will be traveling
there the end of July and would like to take in some diving while
there.
TIA

Kuala Lumpur is not a good place for diving... and the strait of Malaca
is not the safest place in the wold ...

You can go to the East coast (China Sea)
there is Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, and the nearest islands: Tioman,
Redang and Perhentian.
You can also find a direct flight to Pucket ...

Kuala Lumpur means "muddy delta" ...

HTH,
Benoit from Paris.

There are plenty of dive shops in KL, and all of them will be happy to
arrange a trip to Tioman, Perhentian, Redang, Phuket, etc. KL itself is
about 50km from the coast, and the water at nearest coastline (Port
Klang/Port Dickson) is pretty muddy.

Why fly to Pukhet when you can go to Sipadan?

It is easier to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Pucket... It's a direct Flight

From Kuala-Lumpur, you must fly to Kota-Kinabalu, then another flight
to Tawau, 2 hour truck to Semporna and then 45mn in a high speed boat.

it's a long trip ...

Bye,
Benoît.

Because it's possible to get to Phuket and back in one weekend.

Sipadan damage: People want answers
30 May 2006



KOTA KINABALU: The people of Semporna, the district in which Pulau
Sipadan falls, have their own questions about the rest facilities being
built on the island.

Semporna MP Datuk Shafie Apdal said: "The State Government asked the
operators to vacate the island. Some of them were descendants of people
who had lived there. They made a sacrifice and left Sipadan because
they agreed that it would be the best way to conserve the environment
there. Now they want to know why there are plans to construct
facilities."

His constituents were worried as many depended on tourism spin-offs
from divers going to Sipadan and nearby islands, he said, commenting on
corals recently damaged by a barge taking construction material and
equipment to the island to build rest facilities.

Shafie said he had asked state Tourism, Culture and Environment
Minister Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat for a report on the incident.

"I am not pointing fingers at anyone, but the authorities must rectify
the situation. If there are to be rest facilities, they must be minimal
and made of light, wood-based materials. We must be practical because
you do need basic facilities for tourists."

Shafie declined to comment on whether action should be taken against
the contractor, saying it was a matter for the State Government to
decide.

Last week, Chong said the contractor would not be penalised and would
only be asked to pay for the clean-up efforts.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman has ordered a full probe and took
Sabah Parks to task for allowing a barge to dock on the
environmentally-sensitive island.
