With its sparkling white sand, mesmerising blue waters and top-class resort, Mataking Island is the ideal getaway for both the diver and non-diver. Divers can gear up and explore the Eel Garden, Coral Garden, Nudibranch Garden, Turtle Playground, Lobsters Lair and Hump Head Point. Rainbow runners, leaf fish, sweetlips, gobies on their migration route roam the waters here. Timba-timba is known for the wonderful beach great to look for rare marine life. Barely 1km long from end to end, this gorgeous island has an incredibly tranquil sand spit at its northern end, which is exposed at low tide in a similar vein to that of nearby Mataking. For the snorkelers amongst you, the shallows of the reef are adorned with the coral colour sof the rainbow where you can spot Hawksbill turtles coming up from the depths to sunbathe amongst the coral outcrops. Aptly named, this site never fails the scuba diver to find the shy and beautiful Blue-spot sting-rays resting under the coral beds and rock formations. Try to spot the camouflage skills of the giant frogfish that also frequent the black corals.

Sipadan has appealed as one of the top dive sites in the world. It has been highly sought after by divers for its array of possible sightings. The mush-room like island (from a far off eye level view) offers 12 different dive points.
Some say that Barracuda Point is the best especially for the opportunity to be amidst a swirling vortex of barracuda. Other say, the Drop Off is even better in terms of experience which only requires a 9.14 metre walk on the beach before dropping off into the water, and to then go around the island wall which is 600m from the ocean floor.
Sipadan is well known for its unusually large numbers of green and hawksbill turtles which gather there to mate and nest and it is not unusual for a diver to see more than 20 turtles on each dive. More than 3000 species of fish and hundreds of coral species have been classified in this richest of ecosystems and thus made Sipadan an important marine habitat in this region.
