Dive Site in Sabah Borneo



Sabah is blessed with rich cultures and beautiful environment! Underwater world in Sabah is one of the best in the world and some of it is yet to discover. Sipadan was listed as one of the world's best dive site. Jacques Cousteau , Ocean's Ambassador also commented  'I have seen other places like Sipadan, 45 years ago, but now no more. Now we have found again an untouched piece of art ... a jewel'. 
Actually, for those who cannot make it to Sipadan, just 15 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu City by speed boat, you can explore 10 out of 100 pages of Semporna Underwater World. There are few beautiful dive sites in Tungku Abdul Rahman Park such as North Sulug, Manukan Reef, The Rock Reef , Mamutik Shore etc.. 

In fact a diver may find rare or endangered sea creatures such as green and hawksbill turtles, napolean wrasse, giant clams, as well as countless species of sharks and schools of thousands of barracuda and jacks. Sabah is not only know for its reef's larger inhabitants but also as a 'Muck diving' paradise with such rarities as the mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish mandarin fish, harlequin ghost pipefish plus manu types of weird and wonderful frogfish and nudibranchs.

These underwater delights are not restricted to the certified diver; snorkelers and hopeful divers may enroll in one of the many PADI affiliated dive courses run at any of Sabah's dive resorts. Whatever your underwater wish, Sabah's seas and coral reefs can easily fulfill and surpass your wildest dream (http://www.sabahtourism.com)
