SeaTango's Ballroom - A newly discovered dive site in Sabah! Print


Diving in Sabah has quickly gained momentum in recent years, often crowding popular dive sites. It’s time to take a plunge into SeaTango’s Ballroom – an uncharted diver’s paradise away from hordes of tourists!

Just 40 minutes from Kota Kinabalu by boat, SeaTango’s Ballroom is a secluded, dive-centric location discovered by our team of dive experts. It boasts to be the heaven of the sea, embellished with healthy coral reefs and diverse aquatic wildlife.

With up to 30 - 35 metres of water visibility, feast your eyes on magnificent displays of dense corals in a plethora of colours which might reveal a Sea Anemone or two. If you’re lucky, these waters may churn with Marble and Eagle Rays, alongside Ribbontail Stingrays. And if luck is truly on your side, you might even spot a school of dolphins!

Occupants sharing real estates with these rays are Golden Trevallies, Leopard Eels, Bamboo and Nurse Sharks, and Mantis Shrimps. Be sure to look closely into every nook, cranny, and crevice as Spiny Lobsters enjoy the solitude of coral “caves”.

To traverse SeaTango’s Ballroom is not as easy as a backward roll off our catamaran. Experience and good buoyancy are required to confidently descend depths of up to 69 metres.

From muck dives to deep diving, don’t miss out on a chance to allow our PADI-certified Dive Instructor and Dive Masters to lead you on a leisure dive into Malaysian Borneo’s realm of deep-sea wonders!
