<br />
PULAU TIGA &ndash; SURVIVAL ISLAND &amp; TARP.<br />
<br />
This paradise island surrounded by pristine tropical waters is located 6 miles offshore Sabah in Malaysian Borneo. Formed on September 21st 1897 when an earthquake on the Philippine island of Mindanao triggered a volcanic eruption just north of Borneo. The eruption of mud and rock formed a new island 20 meters wide. Over the next four decades subsequent eruptions developed two more islands which have now joined together and three islands have become one and herewith the island was named Pulau Tiga which is Malay for Island of Three ! The last eruption of the volcano was in 1941 but to this day warm mud continues to ooze from geometric vents on the island. These mud baths are safe to bath in and although not proved by science the mud bath is claimed to improve the complexion, relieve joint and muscle pain and remove toxins. <br />
The pristine natural environment of Pulau Tiga Park is protected by the Malaysian government. Harming native vegetation and animals is illegal and carries a punishment of up to three years in prison plus a hefty fine.As a result the surrounding reefs around Pulau Tiga are in excellent condition, with myriads of hard and soft corals, whip corals, barrel sponges, schools of Tropical Fish, Sea Turtles, Rays, Cuttlefish, Nudibranchs, Lionfish, Scorpionfish and the list goes on and on ...<br />
Its great for snorkeling and a must see for travelers to the area.We offer regular day trips and overnight stays to this fascinating location for divers and non divers alike.Aboard our 37ft spacious speed boat a day trip includes return sea transfers from Kota Kinabalu (approx. 1 hour per way, sea conditions permitting), unlimited Snacks and Refreshments, Buffet lunch, Park Entry Fees, Jetty Fees, Guided Snorkeling to Snake Island and a Guided Trip to the Mud Volcano.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Manta Point is where manta ray, tuna and tiger mackerel sometimes come in to feed. You have a good chance of seeing these pelagics, but it isn't guaranteed. The Bat Cave is on the north side of a small sheltered bay and, although the approach is from underwater, the cave is open to the sky. After visiting the cave, you will drift dive along a wall heavily populated with lobsters, which may also yield leopard shark and eagle rays.]]></description>
