Shipwreck Post :
• Maximum depth: 22m
• Currents: Low to mild

A small fishing boat was sunk here to create an artificial reef which attracts loads of marine life including jacks, moray eels, lionfish and frogfish. But the real attraction is that you can post your mail here at Malaysia’s first ever underwater post box!

North Point :
• Maximum depth: 40m
• Currents: Moderate to strong

Located behind Mataking Kecil, is a vertical wall dive with the occasional currents. At 37m, there is a cleaning station which attracts pelagics such as grey reef sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, and if you’re lucky, hammerhead sharks! As you ascend to the shallower parts of the wall, keep an eye out for turtles which are commonly seen together with coral cat sharks and beautiful ribbon eels.

Garden of Eden :
• Maximum depth: 25m
• Currents: Mild

Back rolling into clear waters, you start by dropping down to the seabed around 20-25m where the floor is carpeted with brown and orange soft corals, with sea-pens dotted along the floor. The healthy reef plays home to a host of nudibranchs, gobies, blue-spotted rays, and moray eels. All this while you are surrounded by a myriad of reef inhabitants such as surgeonfish, moorish idols, and angelfish.

House Reef :
• Maximum depth: 50m
• Currents: Mild

Probably one of the finest shore dives in the region, where you dive along a wall that slopes down to 50m to a sandy plateau. Take a look under the jetty, and you are likely to find Charlie – its resident Great Barracuda. In the shallow waters, octopus, lionfish, and stonefish are almost always seen. You should also keep your eyes peeled for sights such as nudibranchs, squat lobsters, cuttlefish whilst being visited by schools of jacks, batfish, trumpetfish, and groupers all competing for your attention.

If you are looking to travel to Semporna, you are inevitably looking for a weather forecast. So here’s a forecast for the next 7 days. Although weather forecasts are not always accurate with ever-changing weather patterns, it does provide a good guess on what’s to come. Every little bit helps! 😀
