Out of the 2 Malaysian Borneo states, Sabah and Sarawak, it is Sabah that commands attention for the serious scuba enthusiast, for Sabah is home to Sipadan, the oceanic jewel-island, one of the world's most highly regarded diving locations. Sabah is also home to many other newly discovered and undiscovered bio-diverse and coral rich dive sites.
With several scuba enthusiasts on the Discover Borneo team we have extensive experience of diving in Sabah and look forward to recommending and organising some of the best dive holidays to be found in Asia.

Sabah has three main coastlines, the West, North and East, all of which harbor an incredible diversity of tropical life and all of which are easily accessible from anywhere in Sabah. The east coast lies within the boundary defined as the Wallacea region of unparalleled biodiversity. Whilst Sabah is home to two of the worlds top ranking dives locations, Layang Layang and Sipadan, there are also many stretches of untouched reef yet to be discovered by divers. Because the majority of Sabah's small population (about 3 million) is concentrated in the main towns, much of the coastline is sparsely populated and kilometers of virgin beach and coastline remain.
