The islands within the park offer some very safe and rewarding night dive sites with plenty of marine life to be found including a variety of crustaceans, nudibranchs, squid and cuttlefish, feeding coral polyps and much more.

Night diving is a unique experience, with your vision restricted our other senses are heightened and more alert, i liken this feeling to walking through the woods at night !

Departure from the jetty is at 6 pm and we should return by 8pm for the 1 dive program.

All equipment including torches are available to rent. Please contact us if you'd like more information and would like to join us.

Discover Scuba Diving Try Dive Tunku Abdul Rahman Park Kota Kinabalu

Congratulations to Grace & Simon for completing a Discover Scuba Diving - Try Dive Course with Dive Downbelow in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park Kota Kinabalu.

discover_scuba

Based for the day trip at our Beach House PADI 5 Star Dive Centre on Gaya Island in the Tunku abdul Rahman Park, just 8 minutes from the city of Kota Kinabalu Sabah.
Grace and Simon tried Scuba Diving for the first time and within the same few hours saw the beauty of the underwater world in a safe, warm paradise location.

The Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is ideally suited to beginner divers providing shallow, sandy confined water environments which slope to slightly deeper coral reef habitats.


The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program introduces people to scuba diving in a highly supervised and relaxed manner. It dispels common misconceptions about scuba by letting individuals try it for themselves.

Under the guidance of a PADI professional, new divers learn basic safety concepts, put on equipment and swim around underwater in a closely supervised environment.

After trying scuba, Grace and Simon have decided to continue their new found sport by returning next year for a PADI Open Water Diver course.

Should you wish to try this wonderful and rewarding sport please contact us or visit our website www.divedownbelow.com
