Dive Site - Pulau Talang-Talang Sarawak
Sarawak
 Renown
for her natural eco-trails and tribal culture, Sarawak also
has some diving sites. Pulau Talang Talang lying off the mouth
of Sematan River is a protected turtle sanctuary and permission
must be obtained to dive the area. The green, hawksbill and
olive ridley turtles are commonly sighted in the vicinity.
 A
World War II ship wreck Katori Maru, located about 30 nautical
miles from the mainland, was a Japanese troop carrier sunk
by British aircraft. Being located further off the coast,
water visibility is between 5 to 8 metres. The poor light
penetration has resulted in little coral growth on the ship
but it has managed to attract a number of large fish inhabitants
and in particular, reef sharks. Locating the wreck is no easy
task it usually takes the local divemaster several minutes
of cruising before locating the wreck.
