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.
