Life on the rig
Ever since we took up diving on Koh Phi Phi in November we've been hearing about Sipadan and what an awesome dive site it is, so we decided to fit a trip there into our itinerary to see for ourselves. We booked a 2 night 3 day trip with Seaventures, whose base is a converted oil-rig situated about 30min boat ride away from Sipadan island just off …
