We missed the morning boat by East Marines. As we were five of us, we hired a speed boat to the Pulau. As we approached the green shores of Paya, it was clear that this was gonna be a great experience. I had never seen so many different varieties of fish together. As we entered the water, it felt that... More

Dead corals, very few fish in dirty water. People throw food in the water to attract fish which has made the surrounding dirty. More

Loved this trip to see beautiful fish in the marine park. We only took the snorkelling package and found that we saw probably as many fish as those on the dives. More

Though it doesn't have the best visibility, there is a great variety of sea-life here. Diving, I saw a banded sea snake, lionfish, 3 species of puffers, parrotfish, Emporor Angels, and many others. On the beach, the baby black tip sharks will swim amongst you peacefully and even eat from your hand. Cool place! More
