Look no further.. go to Sabah. It's a heaven. The best place by far to scuba dive in Malaysia... Few people know about it, so there is little commercialism and polution.

Lying a 45-minutes speedboat trip off the northeast coast of the island of Borneo in the state of Sabah, East Malaysia, Sipadan Island has always been a well-kept secret.
Only 4 hectares in size, this island lies low in cool blue water, an idyllic and very romantic tropical island paradise with white beaches, waving coconut trees, broad-leafed trees reminiscent of primary jungle and rustic huts. However, it is the secret underwater paradise of Sipadan that enthralls divers as hidden in the warm, inviting blue waters is another fantastic world … an underwater realm of adventure and wonder.
LAST JEWEL IN A CROWN bordering the West Pacific Rim
Sipadan is the only deep-water oceanic island in Malaysia, the island itself is the tip of a precipitous sea mountain; an isolated column of rock rising 600 meters (2,000 ft) from the sea floor. Other Malaysian islands rest on the shallow seabed of the Continental Shelf, generally at depths of less than a 100 m.
Sipadan is perched on the northern margin of the Celebes Sea, a huge basin, which at its deepest point plunges to 6,200 m. On the island's inward side, it is separated from the edge of the Continental Shelf by a trough of 1,000 m deep, while on the seaward side the reef drops off dramatically, presenting a 2,000 ft wall dive in just 50 feet from the beach. For diving that is truly memorable, this is the place to go.
Sipadan voted "World's Top Dive Destination"
