101 Dive Destinations Identified in Sabah, Malaysia LOS ANGELES – Sipadan Island in Sabah is a world renowned diving destination, with great wall diving and drift dives, and guaranteed colorful fish encounters. However, the popularity of this "untouched piece of art," as Jacques Costeau once remarked, has overshadowed other equally fascinating dive sites in the area. As many as 101 diving destinations have been identified by a scout team of avid divers who hope to bring greater attention to Sabah's other dive site jewels. Tourism Malaysia and Sabah Tourism Board are working together to promote these lesser known, but equally impressive dive sites in Sabah, such as Mantabuan Island, Layang-Layang Island, and Mantanani Island. Mantabuan Island is a volcanically formed and mostly submerged island with magnificent coral and unsurpassed visibility. It is one of the best islands in the area to spot manta rays, eagle rays, and devil rays. Layang-Layang Island is a ring of 13 coral atolls in the midst of the South China Sea. Divers can spot hammerhead sharks, which school in large numbers between March and July. Mantanani Island consists of three small islands that offer unusual typography, plenty of bottom dwellers, an array of schooling fish, and occasional green turtles sightings. For more experienced divers, three Japanese World War II ships lie halfway between Mantanani and the mainland. ### |
