About this site
Mataking is a small island off the east coast of Sabah, near Semporna on Borneo, in an area known for its reef sites around Semporna's Coral Triangle waters. Nudibranch Heaven sits along the reef fringing the island and draws its name from the muck and reef substrate in the area, which favors small critter life over big pelagics.
