Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP) also nick named the KK Marine Park features five beautiful islands Gaya, Sapi, Manukan, Mamutik and Sulug. This famous marine park has been a marine park for more than 40 years and its marine life is carefully monitored and protected by Sabah Parks. As a result this area is home to thousands of schooling fish, pristine coral reefs, cool creepy critters such as Frogfish, Octopus, Sea horses, Orangutan crabs and much more! We also have some of the larger marine life such as Turtles, Black Tip Reef Sharks, Eagle rays, Cowtail Rays and even during Spring season the Whale Sharks sometimes come and visit.

All types of divers are welcome here, it is a great place for beginners and also fantastic for experienced divers who want to do a bit of photography. We often have snorkelers too who enjoy the sites of the outer reef rather than the beach seeing much more and get a bit of island time between intervals. There is something here to meet every divers and snorkelers tastes.

A mixture of shallow macro diving and shallow sloping walls full of coral reefs!

This Island has very healthy coral reefs teeming with many reef fish and you can even see the very rare and valuable Black Coral diving at this Island.

This is the smallest of the Islands within the KK Marine Park. However this island goes to show that size is not always everything! Mamutik Island offers divers and snorkelers very healthy coral reefs teeming with a large variety of large and small reef fish.

The Island itself is like an Island post card with pristine white sandy beaches-most of our divers never want to leave.

Located at the most southern tip of the KK Marine park, this Island has no amenities for tourists, thus this island offers nature at its best. The diving here is ranked among the best in the marine park with common sightings of sea snakes, turtles, rays, frog fish, morays, lots of nudibranchs, and the coral is pristine with an abundance of marine life-truly a divers haven. We highly recommend you dive here for your 2nd or 3rd day diving within the park.
