Scuba Diving in Langkawi

With the wide expanse of the Andaman Sea surrounding it, scuba diving in Langkawi is expectedly one of the most popular tourist spots on the island. Owing to the island’s tourist friendly facilities, Langkawi diving is not limited to experienced divers only; in fact, plenty of instruction and training schools around Langkawi offer special packages for first time divers who decide to initiate themselves on the island. The scuba diving sites in Langkawi cater to divers of all levels of stamina and expertise. While those just starting off would be comfortably diving at the Floating Platform, people who are experienced in the sport would fare better at the dive sites just off the Pulau Payar Marine Park. Diving at the island comes with the unique reward of witnessing a variety of coral as well as a splendid array of fish- blue, white and purple soft corals scatter the seabed here. Often, the corals are interrupted only by the shoals of clownfish, angelish, barracudas and other schools that flit by.
