Some Malaysian Dives Sites Temporarily Closed

This just in: Malaysia has closed several popular dive sites around Redang and Tioman islands. The reefs of the closed sites are suffering from coral bleaching, caused by global warming. It’s hoped that by keeping divers and snorkelers away from the reefs, they will recover faster.

The closure is in effect until October, which is basically the end of the season for the east coast islands.
