Discover the Turtle Island Park a Haven for Turtles

A promising future for sea turtles in Malaysia.

The magnificent Turtle Islands Park in Sabah are one of the most successful conservation parks in the world. Under the protection of Sabah Parks, Park Rangers record each turtle landing, nesting, egg and hatchling numbers to document and safeguard the islands as an ecological paradise for turtles. The island also permits visitors (under strict capacity laws) to stay overnight and observe the complete lifecycle of turtles, which in turn helps fund the conservation movement on the islands.

How to get there:

Comprising three small islands – Selingaan, Gulisan and Bakungan Kechil – the park is accessible via a one-hour boat ride off Sandakan, Sabah. Permission to visit the islands must be obtained from Sabah Parks and can be applied through Crystal Quest for reservation of accommodation, however, due to limited accommodation, tours must be booked in advance to ensure visitation to the park. Fortunately, the turtles lay their eggs throughout the year, allowing year-round access to the island.

Activities on the island:

The main island (Selingaan Island) houses the park’s headquarters, turtle hatchery, accommodation and basic facilities. While the other two islands are more for conservation activities. Visitors will be able to witness the egg laying process, collection of eggs being transplanted into hatcheries for incubation and the releasing of baby turtles to the sea! Rangers will inform if there are any turtle landings and visitors are encouraged to witness the turtle mothers lay their eggs.

To help further promote turtle conservation, all visitors are encouraged to adopt a sea turtle nest to help contribute to the successful protection of the Green and Hawksbill Sea Turtle species. Nevertheless, the islands are also home to beautiful tropical reefs and re-energising azure blue waters for visitors to swim, snorkel and scuba dive, as well as enriching mud volcanoes that bubble liquid mud from the natural gas coming from underneath the surface of the earth.

DID YOU KNOW?

The sex of the turtle is based entirely on the temperature of the sand during its incubation. The cooler the sand the more males, while warmer sand will birth more females. At Turtle Islands Park, Sabah Parks ensure a mixture of shady cooler sand and warmer sand to ensure a consistent ratio of genders.

Is This The Best Dive Center Ever? W\@wakatobidiveresort

@sennacher 
#askmark Hi there, regarding DSMBs. I’m no expert whatsoever and normally I deploy it correctly. This weekend we dove on very strong current and I almost lose my breath while deploying it (mouth inflate) as it tangled a bit on my reg. It scared the sh&t out of me so. Is there any “little cylinder” kind of thing in order to keep my reg in my mouth to deploy it safer?  I haven’t tried to do it with my LPI… but asume it would tangle also.
Thanks

How Twinset Valves Work In Scuba Diving | Shutdown Drills And Isolator Tips Explained #scubadiving #askmark #twinset

Confused about how to use twinset valves or perform a proper valve shutdown drill? You’re not alone.

In this AskMark episode, Mark explains how valves work on twin cylinders, including how to safely open and close them, how isolator valves function, and why valve drills (also known as shutdown drills or V-Drills) are critical for diagnosing leaks during technical and recreational dives. Please visit our website for more Scuba news, underwater photography, hints & advice, and travel reports: https://divernet.com/ 

Mark also shares tips on muscle memory for reaching your left and right posts, isolator-first vs isolator-last logic, and how to prevent over-tightening or unsafe valve positioning. This guide is perfect for divers transitioning to twinsets, sidemount divers curious about manifold setups, or anyone wanting to improve their gas management skills. 

Let us know in the comments how your instructor taught valve drills and don’t forget to leave your questions using #AskMark to get featured in a future video.

How Do Valves Work on Twin Cylinders? #askmark
@mostafametwally1
#askmark hi Mark. Could you do a video on how to deal with the valves and manifold on twin cylinders. It’s confusing to remember which way to open the valves and it’s easy to get wrong particularly in emergencies. Thanks
