Diving in Mataking and its neighbouring islands is truly an exhilarating experience. Especially the variety of small creatures will fascinate you. Pygmy Seahorses are not uncommon in Mataking Island. Not only small marine life can be sighted as Mataking’s proximity to the Alice channel, a deep-water channel on the east side of the island, makes the encounter of pelagics possible. Schools of Tuna and Barracudas come close to the reef as protection from bigger predators. Eagle Rays use the up welling currents from the deep-water channel as food source and a comfortable way of travel. The sight of Green and Hawksbill Turtles is also common on Mataking reefs.
