A word of caution – Amateur divers may be better off selecting a clear sunny day when diving Sembilan Island as currents here can get strong especially during full/new moon phases, which makes it for a challenging but exhilarating drift dive. Nonetheless, the island is recommended if you wish to extend your scuba diving experience and getting put through your paces under the guidance of the right crew.
Being accessible from the mainland of Lumut and only 10 minutes away from nearby towns of Sitiawan and Manjung, you will have plenty of food and accommodation options. Also, the area is not affected by the yearly monsoon season which means diving all year round!
* Insider tip: Avoid going during the “Nine Emperor Gods Festival” (9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar) due to ‘customary’ raining weather.
