Dive Deep Into Sabah

With its sandy beaches, tropical islands, blue waters, coral reefs and atolls, Sabah has several dive sites well known internationally and many more hidden gems yet to be truly explored.

As scuba diving is well on the way to become one of the fastest growing recreational sports enjoyed by both the young and old, divers are willing to travel thousands of miles to experience the amazing wonders of the underwater realm and bio-diversity hotspot of Southern Asia — Sabah.

Besides the world famous Sipadan Island, Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, Layang-layang Island, Mabul Island, Kapalai Island, Pom Pom Island, Pulau Tiga “Survivor Island”, Lankayan Island and Tun Sakaran Marine Park are all worth exploring.

The surprises of underwater wonder are not restricted to the certified diver; snorkelers and hopeful divers may enrol in one of the many PADI affiliated dive courses at any of Sabah’s dive operators and resorts.

In the fascinating underwater world, divers may find rare or endangered sea creatures such green and hawksbill turtles, napoleon wrasse, giant clams, as well as countless species of sharks and schools of thousands of barracuda and jacks.

Unlike West Malaysia where diving spots have to shut for 4-6 months of the year due to treacherous sea conditions, divers can dive all year round in Sabah to discover its underwater wonders because of its strategic geographic location. Even if you do not swim or dive, you can still enjoy beautiful untouched sceneries; and fresh and wide array of seafood here.
