In March 2006,
the resort sank an old cargo ship as part of their conservation program. . 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.
A mail box was placed on the front of the wheel house of this shipwreck. Divers can buy a postcard at the resort’s gift shoppe and place it in a special sealed waterproof plastic postal bag. Divers can now post their letter underwater. A special rubber stamp was designed to depict this unique postal service. The mail box is cleared 2 times a week.
