Scuba Diving
Diving is possible all year round in Sabah as it sits below the typhoon belt. Boasting a multitude of coral reefs to explore, there are countless sites to head to. Try Pulau Sipadan, an island to the eastern side of the Sabah territory. Here you will come across a huge selection of colourful tropical fish, and sea turtles, as you experience one of the best dive sites the world has to offer. A short distance from Sipadan is another island, Kapalai, and the shallow Ligitan Reefs. Diving spots are extremely close to the island; you can even swim to a few of them. Although you are unlikely to find the big fish and turtles you would have at Sipadan, it is still a great experience and a beautiful dive site. If you would rather stay closer to the mainland, Kota Kinabalu has some popular diving sites at the nearby Pulau islands.
