Congratulations to Gillian and Angie who have just completed the PADI Scuba Diver course with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia! Welcome to the wonderful world of scuba diving 
.
Gillian wasn’t sure if should like scuba diving so we recommended she start by completing a PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience (which is the first day of our PADI Open Water Diver course). She enjoyed her PADI DSD and decided she wanted to continue and learn to dive with her friend Angie with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Read the rest of this entry »

Birthday Girl!
Scuba Diving in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
It was my birthday yesterday so I decided to enjoy some leisure diving in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, Kota Kinabalu during a scuba diving trip with Borneo Dream. What better way to spend my birthday .
Hawksbill Turtle
For our first dive we went scuba diving under Pulau Sapi jetty and along Sapi house reef. We spent 30 minutes watching the large shoals of fish swimming around the legs of the jetty. It was really beautiful.
We then decided that scuba diving actually involved diving (rather than just hovering . . .) and dived along the house reef. We came across a Hawksbill Turtle who was very happy to carry on eating for another 5 minutes while we just looked on. Beautiful. Read the rest of this entry »

Diving in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park
Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park Dive Trip , Scuba Diving, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
Borneo Dream ran a great diving trip to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park near Kota Kinabalu, Sabah yesterday. The weather at the start of the day was not that pleasant – rain and wind. But it was still tropically warm, the sea state was fine for boat travel and we knew it would improve during the day so we set off for a day of scuba diving!
Pulau Sapi House Reef
We had Angie and Gill starting their PADI Open Water Diver course and Vianney and his son, Guillaume, joining us for some leisure diving in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
For the leisure divers we dived Clement Reef, near Pulau Sapi for our morning dive. As son as we jumped in the water we knew we were going to have a good dive – 15m – 20m visibility, no other Divers around and a pretty coral reef to explore. We spotted lots of marine life including Nudibranches, Cleaner Shimps, juvenile Sweetlips, large shoals of Fusilier and Parrot Fish and a cute Porcupine Fish in a Barrel Sponge.

Gomantong Cave
Gomantong Caves, Wildlife Trips, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
Not many tourists have heard about Gomantong Caves before they come on their holiday to Sabah, Borneo. If you fancy going somewhere different to get close to some of the wildlife of Borneo then you should consider a visit to these Caves.
Gomantong Caves, Sabah, Borneo
A visit here can easily be included as part of a Kinabatangan River Cruise trip. Read on to find out more about the amazing Gomantong Caves.
Borneo has been a source of bird nests, used in bird nest soup, for the Chinese market since the 17th century. The Chinese have long believed that the nests have medicinal qualities.
One of the most well known cave systems in Borneo for collecting birds nests is at Gomantong in Sabah. The collection of nests at Gomantong caves is strictly monitored to ensure sustainability, and many believe these are the best managed caves in the world. Read the rest of this entry »
