Adventure Training for 7 Flight

This June we were very pleased to welcome back our old friends from 7 flight on a 1 Day Adventure Training Program.

Joining us for Scuba Diving, Discover Scuba and Snorkelling within the TAR park, it was a very busy day and great fun was had by all.

We hope to see them again as there's never a dull moment !!!

It was our pleasure to organize and conduct the day for the group and look forward to the next time !

The Tunku Abdul Rahman Park provides an ideal location for Teambuilding and Corporate Exercises such as this with year round diving in tropical coral reef waters just minutes from the city and overlooked by Mt Kinabalu.

For more information on tailored group A.T and corporate events please contact us directly or view our dedicated website section Corporate Events, Team Building and Adventure Training.

Blue Ring Octopus in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park

Well ... we've had a very busy time of it of late and as a result our news and events page has been a little neglected !

Throughout the next few weeks we'll update this section with all our exciting news including pictures of our new Dive Station and Offices plus our recent Adventure Training Activities !!

Meanwhile, we must share the news of a rare sighting within the surrounding waters of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.

Whilst conducting a Deep Dive as part of a PADI Advanced Course, having completed the required skills at 30m we began our assent along the sandy bottom towards the sloping reef.

The current was actually pretty strong but manageable, with all four divers finning fairly hard, when all of sudden a small movement on the rubble seabed caught my eye. Edging towards it for a closer look i recognised the unmistakable blue rings that decorate the body and legs of the Blue Ring Octopus Hapalochlaena sp. I beckoned over my students, they could see by my excitement that this little creature was of special interest. I pointed and screamed through my regulator, by now the current had picked up as we neared the reef slope and our bubbles were trailing horizontally in the water column. We all finned furiously to maintain our position to see the little critter, who just perched on a small piece of coral rubble, no doubt wondering what all the commotion was about !

Although Blue Ring Octopuses are seen with some what regularity in the region of Kapalai in the Celebes Sea, this is the first time any of us have encountered one within the TAR Park in the South China Sea. Some of our instructors have been working here for 10 + years with no sightings so i feel very privaliged and excitied to have come across such a highly prized and beautiful creature in my back yard !!
