Kapalai Jetty, Malaysia

By Robert Yin (Adapted from "passport to diving the world")

Well Known For :

One of the best reef in Malaysia.

Stepping out of my room I put on the tank, slip into the water, and my wildest dreams come true: Huge schools of yellow barbed goatfish and yellow blue-lined snappers milling around a giant barracuda, which flases razor-sharp teeth. A female green turtle swims by, ignoring the fleets of bigeye jacks, mackerel, wrasse, snapper, groupers, and the many-spotted sweetlips. From the hard coral reef at three metres it slopes gently down to 12m, where the premium real estate is home to colonies of mandarinfish, blue ring octopus, frogfish, rabbitfish, flamboyant cuttlefish, crocodilefish, blue-spotted rays, piperfish, seahorses, and nudibranchs. Colourful sponges, gorgonians, and dendronepthya soft corals on the jetty pillars help frame my photos. It's possibly the quickest bed to dive site in the world. An undoubtedly the best.

(Ok enough with the stories, I'm itchin' for a dive)
