Diving with the biggest fish in the world...
This is a top pick! ... up with 'Scuba Junkie' to do 3 day trips out to the islands, doing 3 dives on each day. The waters surrounding Sipadan drop dramatically from a shallow reef to huge depths and the currents can be quite strong. These features and the islands distance ...
Sipadan - Diving Heaven
The diving here is outrageous. Between fish and invertebrates that represent every color of the rainbow, there are schools of fish a plenty and a constant highway of turtles cruising past the reef. For the photo of the Pygmy Seahorse I used a ...
NIEUW fotos van het duiken!
De reis naar het resort midden op zee was vrij vermoeiend vooral omdat we om 2 uur 's nachts gingen slapen bij Olaf in Kota Kinabala en al om 5.30 uur moesten opstaan voor het vliegtuig naar Tawau, na 45 minuten vliegen nog 1,5 uur met de bus en dan 45 ...
Second day in Sipadan!

SIPADAN!!!
... jumped out of the water and seemed to go for huge distances before descending into the water again. Everyone talks about Sipadan. Even Jacques Cousteau was quoted as saying in his 1989 documentary "I have seen other places like Sipadan, 45 ...
Diving Junkies
Semporna was a bit of a dump really but the main reason to be there was for the diving. A few miles offshore is the famous island of Sipidan, known to divers as one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Having only just completed our open water course ...

New Job ?!?!?
Shark week in Borneo
... after about a 1.5-hour boat ride because we had to stop at Mabul to drop off the unlucky bastards who couldn't get permits for Sipadan. There were army dudes all over the place at Sipadan so I felt pretty secure, but they were singing karaoke most of the ...

Trouble in Paradise?
... The weather got better after each dive. Went back to the rig for lunch and we all decided to come back for dive 4 and 5 in Sipadan. It was a good decision as finally the fifth dive was the best! We were all swimming (or more like hanging for dear life) ...
Unda da Sea!!
Unda da Sea, Unda Da Sea ...... It had been 17 months since coral reefs last got a glimpse of the hairiness which lied above, somewhere over the floating stratosphere, in "no fish land." 17 months is a long time, my friends, so when attempting to ...
Di mana Ikan u
Time for Sipadan! Sipadan is the only oceanic island in Malaysia. On one side of the island, just off the main beach, the ocean floor drops vertically down 2,000m. Around the other side of the island, the reef drops to 600m. The oceanic currents around ...
Possibly the best SCUBA diving site in the world.
... exactly like floating skulls, placed there to warn people against entering. Scary stuff. Probably the most amazing thing about Sipadan is that it rises 600m from the ocean floor, almost vertically, so there's a wall beside you going straight down ...
Day 113: Pulau Sipadan
... day's 'muck diving' (low-visability, close-quarters, macro diving), I lucked out when a place became available on a boat bound for Sipadan. Problem is, the boat is full of novice divers from K.L. who bump into me and guzzle their air in minutes. Dives are ...
All aboard for Sipadan
... I headed on arrival in Malaysian Borneo. I say Malaysian Borneo as the island is actually divided up into Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. I went to the top right bit. I can't really tell you why I decided on diving with and outfit called ...
Turtles and Orangutans

Turtle Paradise!
... and Sipadan on their radar. I eventually found the Uncle Chang resort on Mabul Island, who did have a permit available. Sipadan Island is Malaysia’s only oceanic island and the fascination of snorkeling/diving here is owed to the fact that there is ...
Day 56- Scuba Diving in Heaven!!!
... a great week. Some of the highlights of the trip were; drinking Tanduay which is a Pilipino rum that is bootlegged into Malaysia, going to a local wedding and being asked to dance on stage with the natives, drinking out on the docks and singing classic ...
Completely Different Level of Unbelievable
... hilt and one of them caught a video of me with the tornado of barracuda! What a way to cap off my time in Malaysia. I can honestly say that it felt like a David Attenborough special. I also need to give a thanks to Dave and his wife Caria ...

Sipadan
... belt first is going to enable you to get so much more out of the trip. It is not possible to stay on Sipadan any more, which although is unfortunate, if it means the island is protected, then it is entirely understandable. There is excellent ...
