Situated towards the east of Pulau Payar is some easy wreck diving off Pulau Kaca. Dozens of sunken fishing trawlers are found around Pulau Kaca creating artificial reefs. Rocky topside topography gives way to hard coral growth at 5 metres and slopes to a sandy bottom at about 18 metres.
A diver does not require any bearings to locate the wrecks, as he is bound to encounter the scattered vessels in almost any direction.
Coral blocks on the sandy bottom are inhabited by abundant small reef fishes, mollusks and nudibranchs. Try to maintain good buoyancy, as the sandy seabed is littered with sea urchins.Labels: islands langkawi, pulau langkawi |
Langkawi's
designated Duty Free Port status makes
shopping here quite fun and very popular. It
carries the largest selection. Enjoying duty
free status within Malaysia makes Langkawi a
great place to pick up some superb bargains
during your holiday, although it is neither
as cheap, nor is there as much variety as
you will find in Kuala Lumpur. There is a
large mall called Langkawi Fair, where you
can pick up the best bargains, and one of
the best places to go shopping for luxury
goods is the Langkawi Parade, where you can
browse the high-end boutiques. For souvenir
hunting, it's a good idea to wander through
the markets along the harbour front and pick
up locally produced handicrafts such as
Langkawi Craft Complex.
