Established in 2004, the Tun Sakaran Marine Park also known as Semporna Islands Park consists of the islands of Bodgaya – Bohaydulong & Gaya, Tetagan, Sabangkat and Selakan, the sand cays of Maiga, Sibuan, and Mantabuan, and the patch reefs of Church and Kapikan. It is the largest protected concentration of coral reefs in Malaysia at 350km square. The Tun Sakaran Marine Park is located 20km off the shores of Semporna on the eastern coast of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.
During dives in the park we, Stephen Wong & Takako Uno – Marine Wildlife Photojournalist and our guests had spotted turtles, school of barracuda, bumphead parrotfish, gobies, shrimps, species juvenile Fish, lots of nudibranchs and found some new species, so there is great hope for more dive sites. The diving is very varied in the park with lots of coral reefs, and a great deal of incredible macro-life in the Bodgaya Lagoon. There are also vast sandy areas with big gorgonian fans, black corals, sea pens and rocky outcrops with plenty of activity.
