Pulau Lankayan

Tropical island, water full of macro marine life

Pulau Lankayan was declared a protected area in 2000. The waters surrounding the island offer a large biodiversity and pristine, healthy coral. Lankayan is a paradise for macro photographers.

Pulau Layang Layang

Untouched coral walls surround an exclusive atoll

Palau Layang Layang is a young dive destination where there is still a lot to discover. The depth, waves and currents do require the necessary diving experience.

Labuan

Four wrecks in Brunei Bay

Labuan is itself not a very attractive dive destination. If by chance you were there – on a business trip for example – then a wreck dive is certainly well worth the effort.

Pulau Sipadan

A treasure trove of coral types

Pulau Sipadan is a protected bird sanctuary and diving around the island is restricted. The water accommodates an extraordinarily large diversity of coral types.

Semporna

The gateway to idyllic islands

Semporna is situated on a lovely bay with beautiful white sandy beaches surrounded by palm trees. From this town you can reach the paradise-like islands Mabul and Sipadan.

L'Escala

Charming place with boat and shore diving possibilities

L’Escala is a less touristy alternative to L’Estartit. It lies further out than the Medes Islands, but you can do great shore dives.

About L’Escala
L’Escala is an old fishing village. These days tourism is a major source of income, but every evening the fishermen still launch their boats. They fish using traditional methods, with lanterns and long nets.

Diving L’Escala
Boats regularly depart from L’Escala to the Medes Islands (Iles Medes). Contrary to 'big brother' L’Estartit, you can enjoy perfectly good shore dives from here.
