Scuba Diving in my backyard - Kota Kinabalu

Frogfish
I get questioned a lot about which is better to dive. East coast or West coast (of Sabah). East Coast, the Great Sipadan was made famous by Jacques Yves Costeau. He is hands down, the Godfather of the Underwater.


While I haven't had the chance to dive Sipadan, before I was even a diver I had heard the great story of it. I've watched videos and it never failed to put me in awe. Seeing divers in the deep blue - nothing but just water was amazing. I remember thinking it must be like flying..


Since, I have only heard how people would say diving in Kota Kinabalu is nothing compared to Sipadan. That created the mindset that diving within the West Coast is dull. As a TARP born diver, I wish to change that.
