Daily Scuba Diving Boat Trips to the Local Marine Park, Tunku Abdul Rahman

Enjoy a relaxed scuba diving trip to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP) during your holiday in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia.

Scuba diving around Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP) is an an ideal dive trip for scuba divers looking for chilled out diving along pretty coral reefs. Suitable for beginners through to experienced leisure divers, scuba diving around TARP is a good choice for your diving trip, holiday to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia.

During your scuba diving trip to TARP with Borneo Dream we will take you to some of the 25 dive sites we have identified around the five idyllic islands in TARP Marine Park - Pulau Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik, Manukan and Sulug. We also go diving the deeper, beautiful coral reefs at Edgell Patches sitting just outside the Marine Park. The dives range in depths from 5m to 25m and tend to have little or no current and good visibility.

The water temperature is usually around 29 to 30C but during February and March it can fall to around 25 to 27C. We provide 3mm wetsuits for both body and thermal protection, however quite a few of our guests just dive in a rash vets and board shorts.

During your dives you will find good quality coral coverage and a surprisingly wide variety of marine life - a real divers find considering you are only 15 minutes by boat from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Watch shoals of Fusiliers dart through the water, schooling Barracuda, Puffer Fish peek out from under Table Corals, a Hawksbill or Green Turtles resting under a coral pinnacles and find every species of Anemone Fish (including Nemo!). That's not mentioning the surprisingly rich muck diving including Ornate Ghost Pipefish, various Nudibranch species, Banded Pipefish, Cuttlefish and Blue Spotted Octopus. You can enjoy some photos and video from our scuba diving trips to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
