Leopard Reef, Kota Kinabalu is just 45 minutes boat ride from KK Jetty out to the open sea to this unknown, beautiful reef full with colors and abundance of marine life. This dive site was named after all the leopard sharks that was once seen at the reef which now the most common sharks that can be found are the nurse and bamboo sharks. Jack fish, red snappers, and coral trout patrol Leopard Reef whilst the ribbon eels, scorpion fish, and numerous nudibranchs are camouflaged amongst the soft corals and feather stars. We have been diving Leopard Reef quite frequent of late, and Ms. Ursula, our PADI Master Scuba Diver Challenger had something to say about the dive "It's been a while since I did any blue water diving so it was great fun to descend 15m immediately, like falling. The clarity of the water up-close was superb and the colours were intense, Marco life was outstanding! We saw a few new types of nudibranches. The small fish schools were ...

We placed 90 eggs on land and 89 eggs underwater whilst the bunny teams were enjoying Fun Diving and snorkelling at coral garden, in Sapi Island. We started with the land search and amazingly all the eggs were accounted for with all being found within seven (7) minutes.
