Rawa Island Resort, Malaysia
Malaysia
Come and experience Diving with OrcaNation at our flagship 5* PADI Centre on Rawa Island off the coast of peninsular Malaysia. Drift amongst our beautiful reef, explore beneath our fish-filled jetty and see which sea creatures you can find hiding between the corals and in the sand.
Situated in a marine reserve, Rawa Island’s house reef offers 100% coral coverage and is host to an abundance of marine life including turtles, sharks, clownfish and barracudas.
Diving around Rawa Island is relatively shallow, and currents are generally mild, with occasional tidal peaks, allowing for long leisurely dives that are perfect for beginners. We do also have more advanced dive sites, and can offer drift diving, wreck diving, and conservation dives as well as a variety of PADI speciality courses.
As the only dive centre on the island, the entire reef is reserved exclusively for OrcaNation divers, and most of our sites are easily accessed right from shore.
