Pulau Aur Travel Guide

 kelnsha Says:  This is the top most activity around this island. You will get to see many marine life because the visibilty is good. The waters around Pulau Aur are deeper and clearer than around the inner islands and because of the great distance from the mainland, sightings of pelagic... 

 kelnsha Says:  Simple local dishes like rice, vegetables and fish. Basic eating area with a small TV, VCD player and midi hi-fi. It has to be their snacks in between dives like french fries or crackers because you are hungry after your dives. 

 kelnsha Says:  There is practically nothing much to do except going for a night dive unless you choose to watch some VCDs or sitting around to chit-chat, have a beer or sharing your day dive sightings. Night diving around Pulau Aur is like an underwater disco because there are so many... 

 kelnsha Says:  If travelling 4 hours by boat to an island is fine with you, then Pulau Aur is your next destination. I heard you can get a speed boat there but it's going to cost you a bomb if you do not have the volume. 

 kelnsha Says:  You will not miss when you are back to the main land because after 4 hours of boat journey, you will want to get some drinks, a bite or to the loo. Nothing much in Pulau Aur but there are thousand and one designs of dive T-shirts at the main land souvenir shops. Take your...

 kelnsha Says:  If you are bringing your own dive equipment, get a solid dive bag to protect your expensive gears. If not, a haversack will do. Light clothings. Shoes not a must. Umbrellas and rain coats are best kept at home unless you are going on the monsoon or raining season. Personal... 

 kelnsha Says:  Well, if you do not dive or snorkel, you may want to play beach volleyball/frisby or try if the banana boat, canoe or kayak ride is available at the resort. Preferably bring your own beach volleyball/frisby and you do not need to worry if they have one or a punctured one. 

 kelnsha Says:  It has to be scuba diving! Try it yourself & you'll discover a whole new world! You will never forget or regret unless you are afraid of the sea. This was the first time I get to see some ship wrecks because I was taking my advance open water diving course.
