Whether you're exploring the depths or snorkeling, Mataking Island offers a vibrant marine world waiting to be discovered. Snorkelers can marvel at the kaleidoscope of colors on the coral reefs, home to butterflyfish, triggerfish, spinefoot, blue sea star, and other marine life. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to get up close with sea turtles, sea snakes, starfish and other marine life and experience the magic of nature. And for many diving enthusiasts, the waters around Mataking Island are known as a dream destination. From the main photo, you can imagine how stunning the underwater landscape is. From barracudas to ribbon eels, giant clams to eagle rays, the array of marine life here is astounding. The dive sites of Mataking Island offer opportunities to encounter majestic pelagic creatures like grey reef sharks, eagle rays, and manta rays. Besides, you may spot smaller marine marvels such as octopuses, lionfish, and stonefish. Whale shark, the world's largest shark, is usually found in Sabah's waters from March to June, although this pattern may shift due to global climate change. If you're fortunate enough to encounter one, remember to admire from a distance, refraining from touching as marine life deserves to be revered in its natural habitat.

Timba-timba Island is renowned for its enchanting beaches and is a heaven for those seeking rare marine life sightings through diving, including large cuttlefish, frogfish, crabs, sea snakes, and occasionally nurse sharks hiding beneath table coral. While turtles are abundant, other common sightings include blue ribbon eels, moray eels, barracudas, lobsters, large coral trout, and snappers. The island features over ten dive sites, including Sweet Lips Table, Stingray City, Pygmy Point, Cahaya Way... just hearing the names ignites anticipation! While snorkelling, in addition to the coral reefs, you'll also have the opportunity to see a variety of tropical fish such as anemone fish and emperor angelfish, as well as sea turtles such as green turtles and hawksbill turtles.

Nestled amidst the Celebes Sea and encircled by seven islands, Pom Pom Island boasts lush tropical flora and pristine white sandy beaches. For snorkelers, the surrounding shallow coral gardens offer exceptional underwater visibility, providing the perfect setting to encounter a diverse range of marine species, including turtles, reef sharks, rays, and tropical fish. Whether you're a novice or an experienced enthusiast, you'll find these waters ideal for exploration and enjoyment. Not only that, it's an idyllic destination for passionate divers to explore diverse dive sites, seek out rare fish, and partake in exhilarating "muck diving" adventures. Discovering the tiniest and most exotic marine life has become a thrilling pursuit for divers. With over 20 dive sites, including Mandarin Heaven, Pit Rock, Northern Valley, and New Life, divers of all levels will find suitable spots to explore.
