Of course there is also plenty to keep you entertained when diving with many macro sites around the island and beyond in the Semporna Islands Marine Park. Diving at Sipadan may be possible to arrange at the resort but for most the local diving, combined with the relaxed but professional atmosphere of the resort, means there is no need to venture further afield.

There is a choice of accommodation. A spa which features a range of massages and therapies are great for spoiling her (or him) and you will both enjoy a relaxing cocktail from the jacuzzi as the sun sets after a fun day's diving. Mataking is great as a resort for those wanting peace and quiet with fun and interesting diving nearby, or as the perfect romantic getaway for couples or newly-weds. It is also popular as a destination for weddings both on dry land and underwater.
