Plongée à Redang Island — Malaysia

Redang Island is a marine park jewel off Malaysia's east coast, where crystal waters lap white beaches and healthy coral gardens teem with turtles and blacktip sharks. Package deals including accommodation, meals, and diving make it excellent value. Seasonal closure from November to February protects the reefs during monsoon.
