| New Destinations in March! Explore British Columbia, our Newest Destination in Canada. The waters off the coast of British Columbia have some of the best diving sites in the world, where the marine life is said to be the most varied and colourful in North America. The North Pacific waters are home to more than 5,000 species of invertebrates, near 400 species of fish, as well as a great abundance of algae and kelp. Pulau Aur, Dive Global's newest Diver's Tale in Malaysia has the perfect ingredients to be a tropical paradise: crystal clear waters, clean powdery sands, swaying palms, and sunny skies. Far from the maddening crowd, the islands offer opportunities to explore underwater havens or just to laze around. Check out our latest Destination of the Month in Malaysia: Pulau Redang. Pulau Redang is northeast of Kampung Merang, a village 38 kilometres north-west of Kuala Terengganu. The five fabulous dive sites of Redang are at Tanjung Lang, Tanjung Tokong, Tanjung Gua Kawah, Pasir Panjang, and Batu Mak Cantek. Snorkeling is best enjoyed at the nearby islets of Pulau Ekor Tebu, Pulau Pinang, and Pulau Lima. Apart from snorkeling and diving, one can trek around the trails in the northern part of the island and visit the fishing village on stilts at the estuary of the Redang River. Trip of the Month in is also from Malaysia: Pulau Tenggol on the M/V Vincent. Pulau Tenggol lies in the southern waters off Terengganu. It's accessibility by air makes it one of the more popular weekend getaways for Malaysian's, and its deep green waters are protected by a marine park status. The island's rocky terrain extends beneath the surface of the surrounding waters, creating a dramatic canvas for diving. |
