Active in diving activity give an advantage for me to be the first team in the world to dive in a new dive site in Kota Kinabalu.
The Kuraman vessel sunk at Taman Tunku Abdul Rahman (TARP) Kota Kinabalu on November 2016. The vessel was used by Malaysia Maritime Enforcement for 52 years before it sink at the TARP for tourism purpose.
We become the first group of public allowed to dive in this new diving site that still close for public. We were given an opportunity to do a test dive to look into the marine life around this shipwreck.
Surprisingly after a year, the shipwreck become a home for various species of marine life.
We only allowed to dive around the shipwreck not inside it because most of us still new to diving world.
I think we need to get an Advanced Open Water before we can enter this shipwreck that located around 18-22m depth.
To divers who like to explore new dive site in Sabah, get yourself ready to explore this new diving site that expected to be open this year or in 2019.
