Sabah is world famous for its tropical seas teeming with marine life, with no site more legendary than Sipadan &ndash; Mecca of the diving world. If you&rsquo;re not quite ready to follow in the footsteps (or watery wake) of Jacques Cousteau just yet, the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park are more than a good place to start.

Reasonable prices, an excellent variety of dive sites, and easy access make Malaysia and Kota Kinabalu a great diving choice for both first-timers and old hands. Today we&rsquo;ll head for the reefs and cerulean waters of the national marine park, home to the islands of Manukan, Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik and Sulug.

We begin our journey at the Jesselton Point Jetty, where we&rsquo;ll board the boat along with the crew. A certified PADI Instructor will deliver a full safety briefing provided by the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience. We&rsquo;ll then gear up and prepare for the morning scuba diving training session**, run from a shallow depth from Sapi Beach.

After practice diving on the reef, we&rsquo;ll get back to the boat and transfer to Pulau Gaya for lunch at Padang Point. Refueled, it&rsquo;s back to the dive boat for another briefing from our PADI instructor. He&rsquo;ll then lead us into the afternoon open water dive along another shallow coral reef. Depending on the day&rsquo;s conditions, it can last between 30 to 50 minutes.
