In March 2006, the resort sank an old cargo ship as part of our conservation program. There are only 5 similar underwater post offices in the world. This is the First and only one in Malaysia. The “MATAKING 1” is an old 40 foot wooden cargo ship used 4 years ago when the Reef Dive Resort at Mataking Island off the coast of Semporna in Sabah, was first built. The ship has not been used since and it was decided to float it and sink it at their famous house reef dive near the front of the resort.
