Many tourists were being encouraged to feed the fish despite the many signs clearly stating that this wrong and damaging to the eco-system. I tried to ask people to stop, but the operator did nothing (Lankawi Coral). This reef is being ruined by these operators and the fish unnaturally flock to the boats when they arrive. The excess of bread and food on the sea bed is damaging the reef itself too.<br /><br />As experienced free divers we wanted to snorkel away from the crowds but the operator refused to let us aboard the dive boat excursions to other reefs on the island, and would only allow us to swim to the north tip on our own, which we did. We were surrounded by black tip reef sharks which was exhiliarating although a little scary and some of the sharks behaved in a way that did not seem normal, coming far too close at times and seemingly less timid than sharks we have had the honour of swimming near before. I doubt very much we will visit such reefs in Malaysia againJackie Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921163805094860332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382539233184523416.post-17110394738260829092014-12-30T13:57:32.793+08:002014-12-30T13:57:32.793+08:00Hi...I stumbled upon this post while searching for...Hi...I stumbled upon this post while searching for recent sightings of crocodiles (wild) in Langkawi. A couple of years ago I received a photo of an adult crocodile swimming in the ocean off the coast of Langkawi. Historically saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) were abundant on Pulau Langkawi and were responsible for fatal attacks, clear into the 1960's. They are indeed native to the island, there is just no longer a functioning population there. Itinerants (such as the one swimming in the ocean) are likely to come by on occasion. Saltwater crocodiles can travel thousands of miles at sea in search of new habitat and there are areas near Langkawi (e.g. Sumatra, the Linggi-Rembau Estuary of Negeri Sembilan, the Andaman Islands) which all still hold breeding saltwater crocodile populations, so occasional wanderers are likely.
