60mins speedboat ride from Semporna jetty with Celebes Explorer dive center, departure at 07:30. Upon arrival, the boat pack on the shore, jump off the vessel then we had to sign in at the Island Registration, individually. 1st dive: Barracuda Point Wall/ drift dive Dive time: 60mins Marine life: white tips shark (resting) 2nd dive: South Point Slope/ drift dive Marine life: Cyclone School of Big Eye Trevally, Giant Green Turtles, White tip sharks (resting and circling) and Napoleon Wrasse. 3rd dive: Turtle Tomb/ Cave Wall/ drift dive Marine life: GREEN HUMPHEAD PARROTFISHS (40mins), Giant Green Turtle & Barracuda Fishes Highlight: 1) REMEMBER: you are there for scuba diving and nothing else. 2) divers must be experienced with drift and buoyancy control to avoid damaging sensitive to marine life. 3) no fresh water, basic toilet (many soiled & dirty cubicles, no washing material or drying material available on the island. 4) limited jetty access, you are lucky if your operator can dock on the very poor constructed wood bridge. 5) check with your operator best/ highest chance to see Green Humphead Parrot Fishes.

I liked the view from the top. It's out of the world kind of view. The 650 metre steep hike is a bit difficult but 100% worth it. If not for anything else, Bohey Dulang island should be visited for spectacular views. The breath-taking view of a circular coral reef fringe which is actually a sea-filled volcanic crater. The island has some interesting mythological stories about it. :) There are many other things to do here such as snorkeling, diving, bird watching etc. Good for a day trip. Tip: Wear good hiking shoe.

We arrived on this beautiful island 7 days ago,as the boat pulls up at the jetty you are struck by the crystal clear turquoise blue sea and white sandy beach which surrounds the resort stunning the welcoming committee were wonderful . Unfortunately for them but very fortunately for us the covid 19 has seen them lose all their Chinese guests which meant for the first day there were 10 of us but then there was only 4 at a resort than has the capacity for 200 guests. We were truly spoilt particularly by the restaurant staff the service, room, food and facilities were absolutely amazing. Our original booking was for 4 nights and then move to a different island but it was so wonderful we extended for the final 3 nights of our trip. We booked making for the diving and we were not disappointed. All thetrips we went on were awesome and each one was different we completed 17 dives in total the best being Sipidan island which was unbelievable, barracuda, Jack fish, sharks turtles bunp head bird fish in huge numbers. The equipment, boats and above all the dive guides and their support team were the best we have experienced. We also made use of the spa and our ladies made us feel completely relaxed, scrubbed and chilled. Excellent massage. The fishing trip we went on at short notice saw us catch a bucket full of fish which the chef cooked for our final meal . This resort needs more western guests in order to survive if you want a little piece of paradise, amazing weather, beaches, scuba diving then go to matakng island .
5. White Wetland
It Is a place to sight seeing, to see the proboscis monkey in a river cruise experience. Not forget to mention about the fireflies and stars
