Sarawak is an intriguing destination with an abundance of cultural and ecological treasures. The multitude of tribal and ethnic groups offer • tourists the chance to experience a blend of diverse traditions and crafts. Bounded by three seas — the South China Sea, Sulu Sea and Celebes Sea - Sarawak’s reefs offer a wondrous collection of corals (about 35 per cent of the worlds reefs) spanning 100,000sq km.
As Sarawak’s capital, Kuching (which means “cat” in Malay) Malaysia’s fourth- largest city, frequently serves as a meeting place of international politicians, athletes and artists. A quiet city with a romantic waterfront, Kuching is also renowned for its natural biodiversity of flora and fauna — the proboscis monkey and orang utan serve as her ambassadors. Diving around Kuching is relatively unheard of, which is a good thing for most hardcore divers as many of its reefs are stilt considered pristine, just waiting to be explored and uncovered.
