PULAU AUR ISLAND (DIVERS' LODGE)
(MALAYSIA)
Malaysia
has many tropical islands with white sandy beaches and clear blue waters.
Offshore, 67km east of Mersing, Pulau Aur, is such a tropical paradise.
The tropical waters of Malaysia offer some of the world's best scuba
diving. This is a place endowed with some of the sport's best
possibilities: you can dive with whale sharks, hover around immense coral
gardens and walls, or dive on ominous and hulking shipwrecks.
The
population is spread along the coastline in small kampongs of four to six
buildings. There are no roads or vehicles. The main industries of the
island are fishing and supporting the few dive resorts on the island. The
island is surrounded by warm crystal clear seas teaming with life.
Together with Pulau Dayang, Pulau Lang, Pulau Pinang en Rayners Rock and Pulau Pemanggil which is 15km northwest of Pulau Aur, it belongs to the Johor Marine Park. Most of the rocky islands are well forested and have isolated coconut plantations. With deep, clear water, healthy corals and regular encounters with large pelagic species, these islands have the potential to become international diving locations
Pulau Aur has always been a stopover point for fishermen. With a supply of fresh water and plenty of fish in the waters, a few later moved their families to the island. However Aur was never the peaceful island as we see now. The deep dark secrets of the wild days are only beginning to unravel within the historic data collected from salvaged treasures hoisted from sunken Chinese junks, sailboats and old merchants ships found shattered in its watery grave.
The
Accommodation is basic at the island but the room do have
air-conditioning, with attached bathrooms and is clean.
All meals are provided in the dive package . Delicious Oriental and Western food prepared by the local staffs throughout your whole trip. Beer and Soft Drinks are available over the counter for a minimal fee.
The dive facility is built by diver for diver! Big custom built dive boat fitted with all necessary tank racks, platform , spacious dive deck for easy suiting up of gear and even has a sun deck for you to relax. All boats and the resort are equipped with oxygen bottles.
