Borneo mataking scuba diving - mataking island dive sites of
borneo Malaysia.
Mataking Island actually consists of two islands only
separated at high tide by a long sand bank. The islands of Mataking
are just north of Boheyan and became famous in 1998 when a
Scandinavian film crew stayed on the islands for several month to
produce a "Robinson" TV series.
The Mataking islands have a magnificent white sandy beach with swaying
coconut trees. Both islands are surrounded by a large, very long
coral reef that slopes from knee-deep to about 80m. Groupers and
large trevallys, schools of barracudas and lots of spotted rays can
be seen at the various dive sites around here. We also have
discovered a plateau in 30m depth where grey reef sharks, whitetip
sharks, nurse sharks, even hammerheads, and large eagle rays can be
observed whenever the current gets really strong.
