Dive-site story
Situated within Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park off the coast of Pulau Gaya, this site features a gentle coral slope that transitions into a sandy seabed. Sheltered conditions make it a regular location for open-water training sessions, macro hunting, and easy navigation exercises. Hard coral formations and scattered bommies shelter various reef dwellers alongside cryptic critters hidden across the sand.
Protected reef slope ideal for training and relaxed macro photography
Frequent encounters with nudibranchs and sea anemones hosting diverse clownfish colonies
Sandy bottom patches harboring camouflaged bottom dwellers and stingrays
