Diving here is very new which only started in 2015, but could well be Sabah’s next top diving destination. Pristine reefs teeming with marine life, coupled with superb visibility, it is only a matter of time this gem gets crowded. According to historians, there are many Chinese trading vessels that were sunk during the era of China’s Sung, Ming, and Ching dynasties when they were on their way to Sulawesi. Probably it’s only about time when divers would start discovering some cool wrecks with historical artifacts.
Above the surface, you will get long stretches of white powder sandy beaches, and quite possibly one of the best sunsets in Malaysia. Lodging is peppered along the coastline, which ranges from no-frills mattress and fan accommodation all the way to a luxurious private bungalow with a personal chef and private beach.
Although diving at the Tip of Borneo is still in its nascent stage, we are pretty confident that it’s a place not to be missed. Pristine corals, a plethora of marine life, quiet coastline, friendly locals… what more could you ask for? 🙂
* Insider-info: Some local divers have marked several notes cleaning stations where manta rays have been spotted. Whale sharks are also known to pass by however the precise season is still unknown.
