This is a really very nice place that i went to while on my first and only diving trip in Malaysia. Don't ask me which part of Malaysia cause lots of people have been asking me and until now i still don't know. All i know is that i took a bus for a few hours, stopped, ate Ramly burger, and then continue travelling and transferred to a boat and the boat took us to this place. At first when i heard that it was Pulau Dayang, i was like, confirm some ulu milky water place. And when i went there, i still had this thought because we reached there about 5 in the morning. However, when i woke up, it was a totally different Place. It was awesome. The sky was nice, the waters were so clear, the sand were fine, the food was good, the dives were great and the company was just as good.
Went there for the weekend with my cousin, and we did like i think 5 dives or something. It is a place which is very peaceful and quiet. The first day when i reached, i regretted not bring a hammock along with me. I saw people tying their hammock and lying there for a few hours, just enjoying the sunrise, the soothing sound of the waves and the cool breeze that followed. Since i didn't have a hammock, i just lay on one of the wooden benches, looking up at the clear blue sky, enjoying the beautiful creation of God. This is a really really good place to be with your love one, just lying down, enjoying the peace and quiet.
The food over there is not too bad also, buffet style. But for those who are diving there, try not to eat too much because on the first dive i think i had a bit too much and when i came back from the dive, i vomited all the ewwww stuff that i ate.
The accommodation at this place is rather simple, with all the basic neccessities provided. Though it is not comparable to a 5 star hotel, the whole layout of the buildings, the furniture in it and the presence of the local people really brings us away from the busy and stressful lifestyle that we have in Singapore. If you are thinking of a reasonably priced place to relax and dive, this is surely one of the places that you must go!
