To get here you have to take an hour’s flight from Kota Kinabalu, but you’ll be rewarded with secluded waters that plummet to 2,000 meters, and have the choice of 13 excellent dive sites. Visit the Gorgonian Forest for a medley of sharks, including schools of 50 or more scalloped hammerheads and even whale sharks. Other must-see spots include Wreck Point, for a horticulture show of barrel sponges, gorgonian fans and sea whips, plus the deep dive at D’Wall where schools of jacks and surgeonfish tempt you with their choreography into the deep.
