For instance, Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB) collaborates closely with the Malaysia Scuba Diving Association (MSDA).

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standards of Recreational Diving Services are used by MSDA to determine dive safety standards. MSDA works with government agencies to make Malaysia a popular diving destination by promoting inbound diving and educating the public about the advantages of scuba diving and the significance of Malaysia's underwater ecosystem.
