Annual Fees for Diving

Australia may license scuba diving

This may be a good move for Australia. The Marine Park Department of Malaysia has already imposed a fee of RM5.00 (Euro 1.10 or US$1.33 or Japanese Yen 149.00) per visitor per visit to any of the Marine Parks in Malaysia.

Apart from the flash-looking Marine Department offices in the parks, I don’t see how else has the money collected been spent. Hence, the rubbish-dump look of the Pulau Payar Marine Park.

Can someone clarify?
