Rainbow Island Wreck Diving Day Tour

Blue Kinabalu Travel Agency are proud to be able to offer the first opportunity to wreck dive in Kota Kinabalu! In 2023 three abandoned boats were intentionally sunk to create an artifical reef and enhance local surrounding marine diversity. The boats lie at a depth between 12 & 27 metres. There are packages for both DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) and LD (Leisure Dive) for divers with a recognised diving qualification e.g. PADI. So even if you’re a complete diving novice your first dive could be even more special enjoying the sight of a wrecked ship and potentially barracuda, grouper and angelfish!
