When visitors want to go to Malaysia specifically for diving, Kuala Lumpur may not be the first destination that pops up in their minds, but actually, Kuala Lumpur is a great base for divers as there are numerous dive centres here which can take divers to all the best diving areas in Malaysia. The dive centres in Kuala Lumpur do usually work in the way of trips, as reaching the best diving spots in Malaysia are harder to reach and involve multiple forms of transport, but by joining trips from these dive centres makes the experience of getting there a lot easier and then divers are also joined by experts so they are guaranteed to see the best of the best. Some of the dive spots visited from Kuala Lumpur include Langkawi, Pulau Redang and Pulau Tioman. Kuala Lumpur is also a central location to fly to if divers want to board a liveaboard in Malaysia.

Diving in Kuala Lumpur
Due to Kuala Lumpur not having a direct coastline, the dive centres and dive resorts in Kuala Lumpur organise trips for divers to go and visit the many amazing diving areas on and off the coasts of Malaysia. This is either done through a liveaboard trip or through a group trip to one specific island or region. Divers booking trips with dive centres here can really customise it to what type of diving they are hoping for, whether they are looking for calm conditions to do dive courses, whether wrecks are at the top of their interests or if flourishing coral reefs and a high abundance of marine life is what they are looking for, there are many options.
The best Months to Dive in Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia has tropical weather conditions and is made up of two seasons; the dry season and the rainy season. The rainy season runs from November to February so luckily it is also shorter than the dry season which runs for the rest of the year and provides divers with ideal diving conditions. With the outside temperatures being warm and pleasant throughout the year luckily results in warm water temperatures throughout the year as well; the temperatures range between 27°C and 32°C. Visibility really depends on the region, but on the east coast of Malaysia it averages between 10 and 25 metres.
In the South China Sea the season for Whale Sharks and Manta Rays are in April and October.
