Hop over to Mari Mari Sepanggar island, an island hideaway a mere 10 minutes boat ride from the Kota Kinabalu City. The island is easily spotted from the city centre and from Likas Bay. The island has two main peaks and is covered in thick tropical rainforest, idyllic white sandy beaches and a spectacular view of Gaya Bay and Kota Kinabalu City.

As part of the Mari Mari Discover Scuba Diving Package, you will experience three (3) different sessions:

The Informative Session – Equipment and Safety Briefing
Learn how your body will react to water pressure and how to deal with it with our PADI trained professionals. Learn how to handle any difficulties while you are in the water e.g how to clear water from your mask and regulator in the event of overflow or flooding. You will also learn hand signals which will be very useful while you’re in the water.

1st Dive – Confined Water Shore Dive
To ensure your safety and enjoyment, your PADI trained professional guide will let you practice breathing underwater in shallow areas and teach you how to use your fins properly. Once you are comfortable and confident, then you will start your underwater tour. This will help to build your comfort level and determine your understanding of SCUBA diving. This is important for your safety before your open water dive.

2nd Dive – Leisure Dive
Your PADI trained professional guide will take you for a leisure dive once you are ready for your deeper dives and embark on your new adventure. Take your time and relax, your guide will supervise you for an unforgettable under-water adventure with care and safety in mind. During the dive your guide will be pointing out the various marine lives that you will encounter.
