New wreck diving package in Usukan Bay

We are pleased to introduce our new and exciting wreck diving package at Usukan Bay in Kota Belud! Usukan Bay is located 20 to 30 minutes away by speedboat from the mainland district of Kota Belud. Kota Belud is located 1½ hours drive from Kota Kinabalu City, state capital of Sabah in East Malaysia.

The Usukan wrecks consist of three Japanese World War II ships that were torpedoed by the USS DASE, a US submarine on October 14, 1944. These three wrecks are about 3000 - 7000 tonnes and lie within a kilometre of each other. They are called the ‘Rice Bowl Wreck’, the ‘Upside Down Wreck’ and the ‘Usukan Bay Wreck.’ Their coral encrusted hulls attract a variety of schooling fishes and large stingrays. The wrecks, located 20 - 40 metres below surface, are covered in shades of red, purple, yellow and black corals and clouded by shores of cardinal, batfish, jacks, tuna and yellow-tailed barracuda.

Aside from the wreck, the bay also offers a splendid dive site called ‘white rock’ which boasts, fantastic colourful soft corals, nurse sharks, schools of barracuda and more.

For more information on our Usukan diving package, please refer to the ‘packages’ section in our main webpage.

‘Jetset’ winners visit Mantanani Island

Lucky ‘Jetset’ winners, Nick Ghosh and Gillian Gaffon won a holiday of a lifetime with a one-week all expenses paid luxury holiday to Sabah. ‘Jetset’ is BBC’s top-rated travel entertainment show which is viewed by over 10 million viewers in UK. The BBC crew was at hand to capture and broadcast every special moment of the couple’s trip back to their UK viewers. The highlight of the couple’s well-earned trip included a romantic lunch set-up on the exclusive white sandy beaches of Mantanani Island. The couple wined and dined on lobsters and steaks and was waited on hand and foot by their very own chef and waiter. They were whisked to the location via helicopter from Kota Kinabalu.

After their luxurious lunch, Nick and Gillian were treated to a cultural show on the beach followed by a modeling performance by a top designer. They took a dip in the crystal clear blue waters of Mantanani to cool off and were jetted back to Kota Kinabalu by a luxury cruiser.

“This is one holiday trip we will always cherish” said Nick while Gillian commented on the beauty and serenity of Mantanani Island. “We will definitely come back here for a holiday!” she added
