Borneo, Malaysia – Explore the Diving Paradise of Sabah

By Chi Binghui, Compiled and Reported

The islands of Southeast Asia are a favorite destination for divers, and Sabah, located on the world’s third-largest island, Borneo, boasts abundant natural resources and diverse landscapes. Several nearby islands are far from the hustle and bustle, such as Pom Pom Island, Sipadan Island, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Tun Sakaran Marine Park, Pulau Layang-Layang, Pulau Mabul, and the coral-rich Mataking Island and Kapalai Island, all of which are dream destinations for divers.

Norman, Deputy Director of the Malaysian Tourism Board, stated that diving is one of the favorite activities for many tourists who love the ocean and nature. Many visitors travel from far and wide to Sabah just to personally experience and explore this magical and beautiful marine world. Moreover, luxury overwater villas and beachfront accommodations that are expensive in other countries can be enjoyed here at affordable prices.
 

Currently, Malaysia offers visa-free entry, and during this summer vacation, several airlines have direct charter flights to Sabah. From the end of June to the end of August, there are flight options available from Mandarin Airlines, TransAsia Airways, and China Airlines, allowing domestic diving enthusiasts to explore the underwater world up close in the shortest time and at an economical price.
