Usukan Bay Wrecks
Fancy a scuba diving adventure? Then go wreck diving from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia with Borneo Dream. Wreck diving at its best!

Go on a scuba diving trip, or diving trips, to the three, large Usukan Bay World War II Japanese wrecks. Wreck diving on the ‘Usukan Wreck’, ‘Upside-down Wreck’ and the ‘Rice Bowl Wreck’ is an awesome scuba diving experience.

All of the wrecks lay in 26m – 45m of water and can have small to medium strong currents present, making them a wreck scuba diving adventure for experienced leisure divers (minimum PADI Advanced Open Water Diver) and technical divers. You can find a brief description of each wreck dive below.

The Rice Bowl Wreck
So-called because a cache of rice bowls was found in the bow when it was first dived, this is a relatively long vessel lying in a North Easterly direction in 40m at its deepest and 26m at its shallowest. The superstructure is punctured in many places, making exploration possible and interesting, and the metalwork is robust. The soft coral garden is memorable.

The Upside-Down Wreck
The name gives away the orientation of this ship, which lies in the same direction and at similar depth to the Rice Bowl wreck. This one has good swim-throughs, though a torch is essential and is good for exploring as well as a training ground for Wreck Diver specialty.

The Usukan Wreck
This is the deepest of the three at 35m – 45m and consequently only available to technical divers. We use rebreathers, but also support twin-tanks/Trimix and decompression diving if required. The wreck is interesting and has a spectacular whip coral coverage that can give it a frosted appearance in a certain light.

All of the wrecks are covered in stunning soft coral gardens and hard corals, teeming with fish life and home to an amazing range of marine life. Find schooling Barracuda, Nurse Sharks, large Groupers and large shoals of Yellow Snappers and Fusiliers. The variety of marine life makes scuba diving the wrecks a fantastic dive for the experienced Scuba Diver. For further information please email us at info@borneodream.com

Pulau Mantanani
Enjoy a day of scuba diving and snorkeling at Pulau Mantanani (Mantanani Island) - palm lined beaches, clear tropical waters, paradise! We offer two dives during the scuba diving day trip to Mantanani Island with an additional option to go snorkeling if you wish.

Mantanani Island is a group of three isolated islands North West of Kota Belud, Sabah, Borneo. Until recently, the islands were only known to a few locals. The shallow coral reefs surrounding the islands have plenty to offer, for both novice and experienced scuba divers. The visibility can be as high as 30m - amazing!

Juvenile Turtles are frequently spotted around Pulau Mantanani. Many species of rays have been spotted in the waters around Mantanani Island, Sabah, Borneo - Marbled Stingray, Blue Spotted Ray and large schools of Eagle Rays. For macro photographers the “muck diving” is good too - if you are lucky you can find Seahorses, Imperial Shrimps, Pink-Eye Gobies, Jaw fish, Blue-Ringed Octopus, Ribbon Eels and many types of nudibranches.

The best time to go is from April to September. Please note that you might need flexibility on the date you go scuba diving at Pulau Mantanani as the sea state can, by exception during this period, be too rough to cross to the Islands.
