Mataking, literally translated to “Eye of the King”, is made up of 2 islands separated by a short 1km long sandbar, exposed at low tide, the dive resort is situated on the first of these 2 islands, Mataking Besar (Large Mataking), and it’s built in a way which it blends in with its uninterrupted jungle paradise. This incredibly picturesque tear-drop shaped atoll is as active with nature in the jungle as it is underwater. When the crystal turquoise waters of Mataking beckons, it is an offer that cannot be refused. Suit up and explore the 30 or so dive sites around Mataking Island and its surrounding islands.
