About this site
Magic Rocks / New Life sits near Bodgaya and Pom Pom Island in the Semporna area of Sabah, off the northeast coast of Borneo, within the coral triangle waters of the Celebes Sea. The islands here are part of the Semporna Islands group, reached by boat from Semporna town on the Sabah mainland. It's a muck site with a maximum depth of around 15 metres, making it a beginner-friendly dive suited to slow, close-up looks at the sandy or rubble bottom typical of this style of diving.
