gxdoyle:I think only liveaboard dive at Pemanggil. We dived there a week ago and were really impressed with the marine life - lots of large fish and tons of lobsters in and around the rocks on the northern side. Its outside the marine park so there are quite a few fishermen but fish stocks still pretty high.
What really surprised me was the visability - at least double what was at Tioman the same weekend.
Also there is a great wreck just off Pemanggil - the Malini - it is deep at about 40-43 meters but it has the biggest fish I have ever seen in Malaysia - even bigger than on the Repulse. Groupers, Snapper and Cobia up to 1 meter long each or more plus trevally and yellowtails. Also a GIGANTIC marble ray somewhere between 4-6 meters across the wings!
Am going there again at the end of the month - will try to get some photos (my camera currently flooded)
How do we get there? Any contacts?
