Mataking Post Wreck
★★★★★
(4,360)
The first underwater post box of Malaysia is at Mataking Island (Pulau Mataking). Located 39 KM off the Semporna town. The underwater post box is mounted at the front of the shipwreck wheel of a 40-foot/12m cargo ship named Mataking 1.
Strong currents and large pelagics are the main draw here, and divers can hope to see eagle rays, mantas, hammerhead sharks and grey reef sharks in the clear blue water.
