2008 HOLIDAY TRIP TO MALAYSIA Our Holiday, 2008 Adventure begins on Saturday, December 20, 2008. About Malaysia: The still unexplored seabeds of Malaysia are unrivaled for the variety and spectacular beauty of the marine life they host. Mabul is still a 'secret' destination reserved for a very few. Every dive holds a surprise or a new species, always rare or at least uncommon, always strange, and always difficult to identify without the aid of the by-now highly expert local dive masters, who have truly invented a professional specialization. Janet lead a group trip to Malaysia in April 2004 (and again in December 2005) and brought back this report. In addition, she took lots of great diving photos during an earlier trip to Malaysia. Accommodations are in standard over-water cottages (714 sq ft.) which feature 2 double-beds; full bathroom with shower; sitting area & 2-sided porches.
