| The platform |
Though you can get to the island with other tour operators, it's obvious that Langkawi Coral is the major player here. They run the first and only coral reef platform in Malaysia, and it's definitely worth the visit if you go to Pulau Payar as it eases your snorkeling and scuba diving activities.
The basically have many cafeteria-style tables scattered throughout the platform, and you are free to use any of them. They also have a nice sun deck on the upper level, which was unfortunately closed for repairs when we visited. Besides that, they have 4 shower cubicles with fresh water that immediately flows into the sea - so no soap or shampoo is allowed! There are also 2 toilet cubicles that sometimes need queueing up.

One of the main attractions of the platform is the underwater observation tunnel. Observe sea life without getting wet! Although it's just a short loop, plenty of windows let you peek out into the marine life around the platform.

The counter is also where you book your diving sessions (more on this next post).
