The Malaysian state of Sabah straddles the northern tip of one of the world’s largest island – Borneo. With its ancient rainforests, rugged, granite-peaked mountains, idyllic lagoons and pristine beaches, it encapsulates the very best of this dramatic island. Sabah is home to some of the world’s greatest marine biodiversity and it is this hidden beauty below the surface of the sea that draws divers and snorkelers from around the world.
