Our Top 10 Scuba Diving Sites along the West Coast of Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
As most people are now counting down to Christmas, the Dream Team have been reflecting on a busy and fun filled year of diving. During our reflections we started discussing what had been some of our favourite dive sites during 2010 and we thought we’d share our list of dream dive sites from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with you 
. All are accessible from Kota Kinabalu and show the mix of diving you can enjoy along the west coast of Sabah, Borneo.
Our ‘Top 10′ dive sites are listed below and are in no particular order . . .
1 & 2. Clements Reef (near Sapi) & Soft Coral Garden (near Gaya), Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park
Diving in TARP
We visit > 20 dive sites in TARP so choosing our favourites was hard. Eventually we decided on these two sites due to the beautiful mix of soft and hard corals. Both sites are located within Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP) – the most popular diving location from Kota Kinabalu. Find gently sloping coral reefs from 8m – 25m, a riot of colours from a range of hard corals, soft corals, sponges and anemones and a surprisingly wide range of marine life so close to city life.
3. Edgell Patches, just 20 minutes by boat from Kota Kinabalu
Edgell Patches is located just outside of TARP and home to deeper coral reefs. Dive around large coral covered boulders in the shallows which then give way to a sloping reef down to 35m. Full of fish life as well as a good variety of nudibranches and other critters. When we’ve had rebreather divers diving the deeper slopes of this reef they’ve spotted the odd 1.5m – 2m Black Tip Shark. Cool! Read the rest of this entry »

The International School Brunei ran their third ISB Dive Club Trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah from 13th – 18th October 2010. They joined Borneo Dream for four days of fun filled, enjoyable diving!
Ten students and two Teachers joined the trip. During the four days of diving 7 students became PADI Open Water Divers, 2 students became PADI Advanced Open Water Divers, 2 students became PADI Enriched Air Divers and there was lots of leisure diving. Congratulations guys!!
ISB Dive Club
The weather was very kind to us with blue skies and sunshine most of the time. We took the students diving at the most protected dive sites in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park near Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to show them the nicest diving conditions. They dived sites around North Gaya, Sapi, Manukan and Sulug. During their dives they saw a wide range of marine life including Turtles, juvenile Nurse Sharks, sea snake, Nudibranches, Lion Fish and lots of fish life. Beautiful.
Enjoy a range of photos from their diving trip.
We look forward to welcoming the ISB Dive Club for the next diving trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
