Here are a couple of recent pictures of the little angles !!
Time and time again our quests tell us how wonderful it is to spend the day with their family whilst they enjoy their different activities with everyone returning for tea and coffee breaks, refreshments and lunch throughout the day.

Fishing Net Removal from Coral Reef, TARP, Kota Kinabalu Sabah, Malaysia.
The Tunku Abdul Rahman Park - TARP, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is a section 3 protected national park which means only single line fishing with a maximum of 2 hooks is permitted by indigenous fishermen.
The use of nets within the park is prohibited but sadly this protection does not stop lost and abandoned fishing gear, primarily large trawl and drift nets, floating into the region and coming to rest within the more protected, low-energy, shallow water environments.
Whilst Scuba Diving around Gaya Island - Tunku Abdul Rahman Park - TARP we found a huge fishing net smothering the reef posing a real threat to the living coral and surrounding marine life.
Disturbed by what we found we called upon the KK Dive Club to volunteer their time and help us with the delicate, time consuming job of carefully removing the net from the reef.
KK Dive Club members were more than happy to lend a helping hand and spend their free time with us removing the net.
After the job was done we provided them a free lunch and refreshments and they got to spend the rest of the day at our Beach House on Gaya Island - infact they played Frisbee on the grassy green next to our Dive Centre.
Since this net removal project we discovered another net on Sapi Island, caught in the net was a dead black tip reef shark and a parrot fish.
The worry with this particular net was that it was still floating and therefore consuming more victims.
We called Sabah Parks, the governing body in charge of the parks protection.
They immediately called on the Marine Police to investigate the situation and began cutting the net to pieces to avoid any further casualties.
The following day Sabah Parks staff returned with our logistic support and some of our own staff to remove the net from the reef.
We would like to thank the KK Dive Club for helping us remove the first devastating fishing net and highly commend Sabah Parks for their immediate response and commitment to removing the second fishing net and providing protection for the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.
Should you wish to join the KK Dive Club and get involved in Conservation and Awareness Programs please visit the website or contact us for more information.
Should you wish to Scuba Dive with us in this stunning tropical paradise please visit the Dive Centre section of out website for more information.

Fame at Last !! Nepalese Pop Star Scuba Diving Downbelow !
I must admit to getting a little star struck when in the presence of celebrities which is why i wasn't invited to Richard's day out with Brad Pitt !
One celebrity that i did have the pleasure of meeting though is Deepau Gurung - a famous Nepalese Pop Star, fondly remembered as Poppy !!
Poppy is also Corporal within the British Royal Gurkha Regiment. He was a participant with one of our Adventure training groups this year.
The Gurkhas, a British special ops unit that has existed since 1815 are considered to be some of the finest soldiers in the world, as is evidenced by the high regard they are held in for both their fighting skill, and their smartness of turnout on parade. Today there are 3400 troops within the British Army, they are all gentlemen and we are very honored to be given the opportunity to conduct their Adventure Training.
During Poppys program he completed the PADI Open Water Course. He enjoyed his AT week so much that he then returned with another group for some daily fun diving.
We had dinner with Poopy and the rest of his group at the Moonbell Restaurant in KK and Poppy charmed us with a few tunes and signed his autograph for me (pictured left with Richard) !!
We hope to see Poppy again and wish him and the boys all the best in their careers and happy diving !

Adventure Sports Training, Team Building, Corporate Events Sabah, Malaysia Asia
With our Adventure Sports Training & Team Building Season 2008 almost coming to an end (only one more group to come), we thought we should write a quick review and say a "BIG Thank You" to the Downbelow Staff Team, Sabah Parks, Friends and Colleagues.
Its been a hard working year but great fun and once again we've met some fabulous people.
Probably our biggest achievement this year was our British Army Royal Gurkha Riffles Event for 291 pax.
Run over a period of 8 weeks this was the largest single PADI Certification Event in Malaysia and arguably in South East Asia !
During the program participants camped at our Beach House Adventure Centre on Gaya Island within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park TARP.
Every participant completed a PADI Certification including Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water Course, Advanced Open Water Course and Rescue Diver Course.
In addition we conducted Sea Kayaking, Skin Diver Programs and White Water Rafting. After days of Adventure Training & Team Building participants went Trekking along the fabulous Gaya Island Trails, played Volleyball and Football !!
Since conducting the event we have received numerous emails from the British Army with glowing feedback from organizers and participants, to the extent that we're now making plans for the same program next year.
We will soon be updating our Photo Album page to include many of the images taken throughout the even.
We have also had the pleasure this year of accommodating many other corporate groups and special interest organizations.
We are very fortunate to be based on a small island in the South China Sea, surrounded by stunning coral reef and rainforest - all this only 10 minutes from a bustling city !!

Sharks, Whales, Giant Sting Rays, Turtles and Mandarin Fish, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Tarp
Yes, Sharks, a Whale, Giant Sting Rays, Turtles, Mandarin Fish, Cuttlefish, Ribbon Eel, Octopus, Fascinating Jellyfish and schools of Snappers and Fusiliers are just some of the marine life that we have seen in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Kota Kinabalu THIS WEEK !!
This is not to mention the Bornean Short Python, Pied Hornbills, White Bellied Sea Eagle, Long Tail Macaques and Green Crested Lizards that we saw during our surface interval !!!
Almost everyday we return buzzing from the marine and wildlife experience that us and our guests have experienced.
To elaborate on the Whale sighting, which is not a normal occurrence -"Whilst scuba diving one of our favorite dive sites just 5 minutes from our dive centre Downbelows boatman was drawn towards some enormous splashing".
Our divers were infact underwater at the time but Osmera (boatman) was a little perturbed, when realized he was watching a Whale longer than our boat (37ft) surface and dive 5 times !!!
Coincidentally it was almost two years ago that we found a 21 meter Brydes Whales beached but alive on the reef at Gaya Island, perhaps we could be experiencing a migration - yet a new project for us to investigate !!
Fortunately Richard has been taking his camera to the island this week so managed to catch some of the marine & wildlife on camera
Should you be interested to learn more about some of the Marine & Wildlife to be found in Sabah please peruse our Photography Section or visit us at Downbelow PADI 5 Star Dive Centre.

Black Ribbon Eel discovered on Dive Site in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, TARP, Kota Kinabalu
Downbelow PADI 5 Star Dive Centre in the TAR Park (TARP) was a buzz yesterday when the morning dive boat returned to the Beach House on Gaya Island with a group of very happy divers from Australia, UK, Denmark and Holland.
The excitement was over a Black Ribbon Eel that they discovered on a deep dive just a couple of minutes boat ride from our Island Dive Centre.
Our knowledge and experience tells us that these delightful little critters remain in the same area for some time, so revisiting this prize find should be possible.
Ribbon Eels (Rhinomuraena quaesita) are a rare find and quite secretive usually only showing their head and their distinctively large flared nostrils.
Should a diver get to close, they will hide away in their hole and probably stay hidden for a few minutes.
Black Ribbon Eels with a yellow dorsal fin are juveniles and sub adults.
To read more about Ribbon Eels please peruse our dedicated Marine Biology Section within our website.
Should you wish to Scuba Dive with us, please peruse our Daily Diving Package or PADI Courses Section.

Dive Sites, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park TARP Kota Kinabalu Sabah
Everyday people write to us asking about the Dive Sites and Scuba Diving in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, TARP, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
So i thought i would write a very quick summary for those that are interested.
Firstly its important to say that we enjoy year round scuba diving.
Often people think that the monsoon season is off limits for us divers but its not, infact monsoon time can bring some of the best weather because its no longer the Typhoon season.
Scuba Diving wise there is really no best or worst time to visit in terms of weather for the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.
March through May is Whaleshark season so i guess if you can visit any time atall this would be an additional bonus and our PADI 5 Star Dive Centre is ideally located to track them down safely and unobtrusively.
For Beach Lovers, Snorkelers, Skin Divers, beginners to the sport of Scuba Diving and professionals alike the park offers a great deal.
Tropical waters abundant with diverse and fascinating marine life, sheltered reefs, idilic island paradise settings to relax and while away surface intervals - all this within view of the KK city centre and Mt Kinabalu.
Dive sites within TARP are predominantly sloping coral reefs with stunning hard and soft covered coral blocks, mangrove areas and sand slopes with plenty of fish life and macro subjects - ideal for photographers both beginners and those more advanced.
Depths range from shallow coral gardens at 5m to caverns and overhangs at 30m. Some of the well know Dive Sites include, Clement Reef, Rons Reef, Edgell Patches, North Sulug and Police Beach, but we make many many more new dive site discoveries all the time in and around the TAR Park.
So What Can We See ?
Macro life is what we are passionate about but having said this there are plenty of larger marine creatures to found. We regularly see Green and Hawksbill Turtles and Rays, especially at Turtle House Dive Site.
At the moment Eagle Rays seem to be hanging around with a recent Open Water Course student seeing one in our lagoon in 4m of water !!
Schools of Barracuda, Snappers, Fusiliers and Anthias are common. We often see Cuttlefish, Moray Eels, Lionfish and Pufferfish.
Occasionally we see Sharks but sadly Sharks are these days a minority due to overfishing and illegal Shark-finning practices worldwide.
Nudibranchs are common, so too are all 7 species of Clownfish which can be seen in just one dive site! Many species of Crustaceans, Scorpionfish, Pipefish, Demon Stingers, Cuttlefish and Stonefish are also usual suspects.
From time to time we find Frogfish, Ghostpipefish and once in a while the highly prized Blue Ringed Octopus !
Our House Reef and Home Corner Dive Site which is just a giant stride from our Beach House Dive Centre jetty has many surprises. Generally we know where to find Mandarinfish at certain times of the day.
The Tunku Abdul Rahman Park should not be missed when visiting Sabah, often overlooked this Divers paradise offers constant surprises.
TARP also a perfect location for a Scuba Review before a trip to Sipadan or for non divers to try out the sport of Scuba Diving with the Discover Scuba Diving Program. Also for qualified divers to continue their diving course education.
Two or three day dive packages offer great value for money and you certainly wouldn't see the same dive site twice - unless you wanted to of course, which can happen !!
For more information on packages please visit our Travel Packages page.
Or Contact us for Bookings.
To learn more about the Marine Life we find, please visit our dedicated Marine Biology Section of our Website.
