Who Are We?
The Malayan Sub-Aqua Club (MSAC), formed in 1959, is one of the oldest amateur diving Clubs in Malaysia. It is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. MSAC is a non-commercial, non-profit, multi-racial Club for diving enthusiasts who are either already qualified as snorkel or SCUBA divers or for those who wish to take up the sport or who merely have an interest in the marine environment. MSAC is interested in conservation and the environment but it is not a pressure group. MSAC is a Sports & Recreation Club.
What Do We Do?
MSAC's principal activity is the running of diving trips for its members. MSAC does provide SCUBA training and certification under the auspices of the world divng federation, Confederation Mondial des Activities Subaquatiques (CMAS).
The Club meets regularly to allow members to refresh and improve their diving skills and exchange information on the latest techniques and equipment. We also meet socially to enjoy the company of other diving enthusiasts, view slides and videos of our underwater activities, and learn more about the underwater environment and marine life.
When And Where Do We Do It?
Diving takes place all year round. Diving in the months of March through October is mainly on the East Coast of Malaysia. During the other months, we dive the West Coast due to the North East Monsoon.
Overseas Diving?
Once or twice a year the Club organizes trips further afield (e.g. Maldives, Ambon, Sipadan/Mabul, Bali, Sangalaki, Bunaken and Lembeh). MSAC goes diving, on average once every 6 weeks during the East Coast season.

Training and Socials?
Pool sessions are held when training courses are taking place. This permits MSAC members to come and swim, test new equipment, get briefed about upcoming dive expeditions or just chat in a casual environment.
MSAC socials are held every 3 months at various members' homes with dinner, slide shows, videos and diving chatter being the order of the day!
