Scuba Diving Trips in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with Borneo Dream

Borneo Dream ran a scuba diving day trip yesterday to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and Edgell Patches. Both dive destinations are within easy reach of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah via a 20 – 30 minute boat transfer on Borneo Dream 3.

We went scuba diving at three dive sites – Sapi House Reef, Edgell Patch and Ron’s Reef. We enjoyed stunning visibility at Edgell Patch (20 – 30m) and saw some really nice marine life including a Green Turtle, Blue Spotted Rays, Leopard Moray Eel, a range of Nudibranches, Barracuda, juvenile Bamboo Shark, a 1.5m Black Tip Reef Shark and more.

Enjoy some photos and underwater video footage from this scuba diving trip.

We offer the best range of scuba diving trips along the west coast of Sabah, with our diving trips departing from Kota Kinabalu. If you fancy coming scuba diving with Borneo Dream during your holiday in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah then please contact the Borneo Dream team.

Scuba Diving Trips with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

A group of teachers from International School Brunei came to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah last weekend to enjoy some diving with Borneo Dream.

We took them scuba diving to several dive sites within Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and at Edgell Patches, just outside the Marine Park. We took the diving at Clements Reef, Sapi House Reef, Sapi South Reef, Pulau Manukan West Reef, Sulug North Reef and a few dive sites at Edgell Patches.

The weather, and sea state, had been good for a couple of weeks before their diving trip to KK, Sabah. This meant that the visibility was excellent at many of the coral reefs we took them diving at. We also had blue skies and sunshine over the weekend and showed the Pulau Sapi and Pulau Mamutik islands during the lunch break surface interval. A perfect combination!

The teachers had a great time scuba diving with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and are already thinking about how they can fit diving in with us during a future school holiday. I’m sure we’ll see them again very soon.

Borneo Dream ran a reef clean up event in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park yesterday as part of Project AWARE International Clean Up Day.

The reef clean up event was a great success – we had four boats full of divers taking part and we collected 105kg of marine debris! We also performed the first ever Crown of Thorns clean up in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park on an area of reef near Pulau Mankan.

The aim of Project AWARE International Clean Up Day is to raise awareness of the importance of conserving our underwater world and encouraging marine conservation activity. We helped forty participants help address a local underwater issue – marine debris in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Read the rest of this entry »

Scuba Diving Trips in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia

Borneo Dream runs scuba diving day trips to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah on a regular basis. We also venture outside TARP Marine Park to dive the deeper coral reefs at Edgell Patches.

Edgell Patches has two separate large coral reefs. The reefs are 10m – 25m in depth and full of beautiful hard corals, sponges, soft corals and Anemones. They are large enough to offer a different dive each time you visit this dive site.

Enjoy some video footage taken during a scuba diving trip to Edgell Patches last weekend. The video was taken by Billy, one of our Dive Professionals, during a single diving day trip.

Borneo Dream runs scuba diving trips to Edgell Patches for more experienced divers on a frequent basis. If you would like to come diving with us during your holiday in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah then please contact the Borneo Dream team.
