Wrecks Diving
Around North West Sabah

Wrecks diving in Kudat are around off the north-west coast of Sabah where lie a group of islands including Pulau Balambangan, Pulau Banggi, Pulau Jambongan, Pulau Balak and Pulau Malawali.

A number of wrecks and rarely dived reefs have recently been discovered in this area and now a Kota Kinabalu based company, Sipadan-Mabul Regal Tours, have a live aboard boat regularly visiting the area. The 'Scuba Explorer' is a 70ft live aboard moto yacht with comfortable accommodation for 12 people and 6 crews. Designed for comfort and effortless diving.

The Scuba Explorer covers the Kudat wrecks and reef diving around the islands of north-west Sabah. Three wrecks have been discovered to date, all thought to be merchant ships. Two are lying at 20m to 25m and the other lying a little deeper at 50m. All three wrecks resemble coral gardens being completely covered in colourful sponge and soft corals. Marine life around the wrecks include schools of glass fish, lion fish, scorpion fish, and huge resident grouper.

The surrounding islands have shallow fringing reefs with all the regular reef fish such as the coral trout, butterfly fish, angel fish, and the occasional cuttlefish. There have rarely been dived and therefore new sites are being discovered on many of the trips for wrecks diving in Kudat. You can Click Here to go to Wreck Diving page.
