Hello there!
Alright, there are three main areas for you to dive in Malaysia:
1) east coast (south china sea)will be Perhentian, Redang (a marine park there) and Tioman. The waters are clean, blue and warm. For some reasons it is very very salty!!!compared to the west coast. Lots of corals and you definately have to check out Redang's Marine Park.
hi guys, just came back from some wonderful 4 weeks in malaysia, most of the time spent underwater ;-)
well, i wouldn't recommend redang, since it's quite a busy party place, rather expensive and usually overbooked, especially in malaysian holiday season.
what i *can* recommend, is perhentian & tioman: great corals, great marine life (anything you can think about), and very nice ppl.
here are my 2 favourite dive-centers in malaysia:
