Pulau Sembilan
- Located around 25km off the coast of Pulau Pangkor are the Sembilan islands (the term Sembilan means 'nine islands' and is the derivative of the name Similan for the famous islands in Thailand) . Visibility isnt great here (average 3 to 9 meters) but there is a wide selection of marine life to keep divers occupied. Coral is in good condition, all the way down to 40 meters in some parts and fish life consists of scopionfish, pufferfish, parrotfish, barracuda and seahorses. The islands consist of Pulau Agas, Pulau Payong, Pulau Nipis, Pulau Rumbia, Pulau Lalang, Pulau Saga, Pulau Buluh, Black Rock and White Rock. White Rock is a popular site with its lighthouse and steep walls dropping down to 40 meters. The channels between the islands offer good coral and often big shoals of fish.
- Pulau Sembilan is, as the name suggests, made up of a group of nine islands and is a haven for fishermen. Getting there is easy as it is located just 90 minutes by boat from south-west Pangkor. For those who are thinking of fishing their vacation away, then get your gear and set a course for Pulau Sembilan.
