Dayang Island (or Pulau Dayang, as it is known locally) is located approximately 65km west of Johore. It is part of the 5 islands, together with Pulau Aur, Pulau Lang, Pulau Pinang, together with Pulau Pemanggil, that make up a distinct offshore region of Johor Marine Park. With their crystal blue waters and abundant marine life, this is one of Malaysia's most popular site amongst divers all around.
Dayang and Aur dive sites noted for their diversity. Open water, advance open water and more experienced divers have a choice of ranging from shore dives for shallow reefs to more challenging rocky depths. Dayang and Aur have been the site of many sightings of whale shark and manta rays on the right season.
This was my first time even attempting scuba diving. The class was fun and informative. It was great preparation for the dive. The dive itself was absolutely fabulous! This was truly one of the best experiences of my life.

Diving Season
During the months of March to November, expect to have great weather by day, and a fantastic view of the starry night after dark in Tioman Island. Between November to March, the Northeast monsoon makes it more challenging to dive, and most divers will prefer to dive in Phuket instead.
