Pulau Aur (Aur Island) is located 65km east of Mersing on the east coast of Johor. This island and its surrounding islands -- Pulau Dayang (Dayang Island), Pulau Lang (Lang Island) and Pulau Pinang (Pinang Island) are rated by divers as one of the best scuba diving destinations within the Johor Marine Park area.
The waters here are deeper than around the inner islands. Due to its remoteness from the mainland, visibility is excellent and sightings of pelagics are common. However, cost of boat rentals are high and scuba diving has been possible only in groups pre-arranged by dive shops in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
The Aur group of islands has been designated as a Marine Park. Therefore, visitors are subject to conditions and regulations.
