Island paradise in Borneo
Jun 28, 2008 (53 photos)

Sipadan. Sipadan. Sipadan. That is all you hear in these parts. "You must go to Sipadan."(in a European accent) So we went to Sipadan. The famous dive spot with barricuda schools, sharks, beautiful coral, giant sea turtles and too much more to mention. The resorts on this island got kicked off and it's now a national park. We stayed at a neighb...

Malcolm is a certified PADI recreational diver now!! We are currently spending a few days in Semporna where one of the best dive sites in the world is located, and Malx decided that he would like to learn to dive. (Well, actually he decided it beforehand, which is why we are here in the first place). So, as of two days ago, Malx is an official s...

Scuba Diving in Semporna
Feb 27, 2008 (16 photos)

After our jungle adventures we headed down through the billions of hectares of palm oil plantations to, yet another, concrete jungle called Semporna. Why did we go here? For world class diving! Although I had already booked, I was a bit early, but I managed to start my open water course the next day. I was with two lovely people, a Welsh girl (S...

On the bus to Semporna I met a couple of orang putis who were (unsurprisingly) planning on diving. Nils was from Sweden, and had already travelled for some time, having taken the trans-siberian railway into China, and headed through Tibet and Nepal himself, so we had a good chat and he gave me a few tips for my own journey. Tim was a fellow Eng...

Hmmm, Diving.....

Right then. Its not been funny hobbling around KK, like Douglas bleeding Bader, but there is a distinct kinabalu hangover in my leggies. Time for a spot of sub-aquatic sport, methinks. A simple enough travel arrangemnt. Get the 55ringgit flight (thats 8 quid) to Tawau, get picked up by the dive school and get chaffeured for an hour, to the dive ...

More snorkelling
Feb 21, 2007 (4 photos)

(Christopher wrote this entry.) Having heard that the best snorkeling in the world is in the Sulu Sea off the east coast of Sabah, we headed to Semporna to squeeze in one more swim with the underwater galaxies. The bus ride from Sandakan was memorable only for the videos. We watched the same hour of Troy twice because the disc got stuck. That wa...

Diving in Sipadan PADI Open Water Course
Aug 23, 2006

Just a quick update! On a whim, I decided to go to Sipadan, one of the worlds top dive sites. After a 10 hour bus(es) ride from hell, I arrived in Semporna, coastal town at southern tip of Borneo, and I immediately started studying for my Open Water course. Within 2 hours, I went through the first 3 of 5 modules for the course. The next day, I d...

Days 129- 132 Sandakan, Semporna and Sipadan
Feb 17, 2006

You may wish to look away now if you are easily bored by my enthusing about diving, cos basically thats what I'm going to do this entry!! Firstly though, I am going to moan. I was really looking forward to the next part of the trip - I had planned to go to Kinabantagan, the jungle area around the river of the same name, for 2 days of wildlife sp...
