Travel through the island clusters and you will have the opportunity to dive iconic locations such as the legendary Sipadan Island, home to the largest barrier reef in South East Asia with amazing marine biodiversity and an awe-inspiring coral wall dropping down more than 2000m (6561 ft).
Love muck diving? Dive the muck diving mecca that is Mabul Island, explore the macro paradise of Kapalai Island, where you can encounter amazing sea-life and little critters such as frogfishes, harlequin ghost pipefish, dwarf stonefish, a host of nudibranchs, and more!
What’s more, you can see the turtles of Timba Timba Island and Pom Pom Island. See the rare and precious black corals at the volcanically formed Mantabuan Island (which is also home to manta rays). Have your romantic getaway in the beautiful Mataking Island as proclaimed by most as the Maldives of Malaysia.
