Butterworth

Butterworth in Penang state is a port town near the Malacca Strait. It is not a major diving hub, and diving activity itself in the immediate city is limited. Nearby coastal areas and the Penang region offer more dive options with small local centers serving beginners and local divers. Expect typical tropical sea conditions, with shallow shore dives and easier boat trips available from larger nearby hubs. Freshwater options are not a feature of this city, and any diving would be accessed via day trips or short drives to adjacent coastal sites in the Straits of Malacca region.
