Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: As you can see, wearing high heels and a mini skirt is not a good idea if you're going to Pulau Semakau. Leave them at home and come dressed in cargo pants which can be folded . Tops with long sleeves are good as it will protect your arms from sunburn and mossie bites. Diving Booties would be another good idea. Slippers are not since it won't protect if you accidentally step on a poisonous rock fish.
