“Wonderful experience visiting TRACC”

written by dna-2016 on 09/07/2015

This was a great volunteer experience during our gap year travels. We had a great time visiting TRACC borneo – we were lucky enough to visit both the Kudat project and the Pom Pom Island Project so we saw the best of both locations. The weather was pefect in Kudat and we dove and planted reefs in the proposed location of the Tun Mustapha park. Pom Pom Island is just superb and while we were there the camp was being rebuilt. White sand, turtles, clear water and amazing diving. The artificial reefs that TRACC has built have made a huge difference to fish numbers and diversity. We dove lobster wall where there are no TRACC reefs and there is nothing but rubble shallower than 20m. In comparison the TRACC house reef has fantastic fish life. What a great experience – working and diving with keen passionate people on one of the most beautiful islands. How do we give this 10 stars out of 5? Seriously recommended if you care about the ocean, coral reefs or turtles. There were things that weren't perfect but TRACC had just moved. Dino and the team were building every day so the camp facilities will definitely be better now than then.
