Mayne Rock Diving Trip, Scuba Diving, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia

Borneo Dream ran a scuba diving trip to Mayne Rock at the weekend. Mayne Rock is located approx. 30 nm (nautical miles) North from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and is a great place for a scuba diving trip if you fancy going somewhere a bit different to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (the dive site most Dive Operators in Kota Kinabalu go to).

At Mayne Rock we have three found different dive sites – these involve diving around large boulders, teaming with fish life and home to numerous juvenile Nurse Sharks / Bamboo Sharks, Blue Spotted Rays and lots more!

Pristine Coral Reefs

The diving conditions this weekend at Mayne Rock were fantastic – visibility was 20m – 25m, there was a slight current, the marine life was abundant and as always we were the only Divers in the water.

We dived ‘Gons Boulders’ for our first dive and the adjoining coral reef for our second dive. Our diving customers really enjoyed both divers and were amazed by the pristine nature of the coral reef. Read the rest of this entry »

Usukan Wreck & Mayne Rock Dive Trip, Scuba Diving, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia

We start out early on Friday for the start of our scuba diving trip to the Usukan Wrecks and Mayne Rock, near Kota Kinabalu.

The sea conditions were good and the sun was rising in the sky – making for a pleasant ride up along the North coast of Sabah, Borneo to our scuba diving destination. Some of our customers made the most of the sun deck on the front of our catamaran and topped up their tans whilst having a morning coffee and chat. A chilled out start to a day of scuba diving :-) .

Usukan WW2 Wrecks

Usukan WW2 Wrecks

We arrived at the Usukan WW2 wrecks at 9:30am and Captain Merali helped us expertly dropped the shot line in the middle of the Rice Bowl wreck. Billy, one of our PADI Instructors, went down the shot line to check the diving conditions and surfaced with a big smile on his face – only a slight current (North to South) and visibility on the wreck was around 20 – 25m. We were ready for our first dive of the day!

The wrecks lie in 25m – 40m so all the open circuit divers dived on Nitrox EANx30, provided FREE by Borneo Dream to all wreck diving customers. We enjoyed a dive of 35 – 40 minutes and were in awe of the fish life with large shoals of Fusiliers, Yellow Snappers, juvenile Mackeral and Antheas. Read the rest of this entry »
