Diveheart & Tourism Malaysia Attend the Moscow International Dive Show 2021

Diveheart was represented at the Moscow Dive Show by its Malaysian Diveheart Ambassador Syed Abdul Rahman who is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As founder and director of Kids Scuba Malaysia, Syed has been conducting Diveheart and adaptive scuba diving programmes in Malaysia for the past ten years and has trained over a hundred local adaptive divers and Diveheart volunteers.

“I am pleased that more and more dive destinations in Malaysia are becoming more disability-friendly in terms of the facilities that they offer and willingness to accept adaptive divers,” said Syed who has personally conducted stakeholder engagements with both government and private tourism players to make the industry more accessible to people with disabilities.

Syed also presented Malaysia’s world-class diving destinations at the International event. “Malaysia is truly blessed with so many beautiful dive destinations including Tioman Island, Perhentian Islands, Tenggol Island and of course, Layang Layang and Sipadan Island,” said Syed adding that Malaysian waters are known for its rich underwater biodiversity, beautiful coral reefs and suitable for divers of all levels.

The Malaysian booth organised by Tourism Malaysia’s Moscow Director, Jefri Munir in collaboration with Diveheart, proved to be very popular at the show. The event was held from April 8th to the 11th .

Held at the Gostiny Dvor Exhibition Centre, the MDS 2021 was the largest exhibition in equipment, tourism and training for people interested in scuba diving and other waterbased sports in Russia and Eastern Europe.
