AQUATASTIC projects our love and passion for scuba diving, marine life, marine conservation, fish identification & knowledge and underwater photography. It is our aim to give you the most recent news and info as well as dive tips and honest reviews to you.

We have a Dive Shop to provide you with all your diving needs located at the airport at Tawau, a major transit point to marvelous diving spots like Sipadan, Mabul, Mataking, Kapalai, the Tun Sakaran Marine Park and other exotic dive sites and islands near Semporna. In addition to that, this dive shop; much like the purpose of this blog, introduces you to dive courses that we can conduct and interesting dive sites not just in our area but around South East Asia. To know more about the places and resorts we love to go, check out the useful links on the right side of this blog.

An awesome end for April


Filled with 200+ bars of air - by Denny&Liz

My week in a nutshell:

My life is sadly getting hectic,
And people been calling me eccentric,
With my dive gears packed off I go diving,
To get away from them all as I start my rhyming.

I enjoyed the dives at Sipadan with Denny and Liz,
Both of em so cool I bet they're in showbiz,
"They're natural", says Pun-Pun the seahorse,
As they completed their Advanced Open Water Course!

Next to Mabul with my cousin the no-nonsense Nick,
And from afar came the b'day gal Josey; a lovely chick,
Soon arrived the loving couple no other than Melissa and Ken,
Not forgetting jolly good Aaron and Ben.

With Big John and his members we made our first dive,
Current so damn strong it made us feel so very alive!
But thank god the deeper we went the milder the current,
Everyone was safe but were we tired? Hell no we weren't! (we ain't gonna admit it)

Our second dive was fantastic; Lady Luck heard my wish,
Met our old friends the mandarin fish and the frogfish,
We met some juvenile friends: bi-color parrotfish and the rock-mover wrasse,
But the Titan trigger fish was prepared to kick my arse...
Nice vis with no current and nice hot sun,
Just the right place and time for really awesome fun.

We departed for Semporna again and Josey missing Mabul I see,
Being a good man I bought her a nice lunch at KFC!
Everyone was happy; laughing and smiling or at least I felt that way,
Diving should always be this good and we will do it again this coming May!
