Sipadan Island

Faded a little since 20 years ago but 2 days should allow you to find everything! Baracuda, shark and turtles, along the ocean in amazing drift dives…

Diving here was great, saw a large school of big barracudas, many bumpheads and some sharks. Definitely a must go spot. However, the experience is spoilt by the fact that you need to pay 100 USD only for entrance fee and this is per day and the worst on it is that you are not even allowed to make more than 2 dives there, the third one needs to be done at the ugly and not very interesting neighbour island Mabul. Some other dive spots (I was in Mataking and Timba Timba) were decent for some dives, but not to compare with Sipadan.

It is a one of the most famous dive shop in Malaysia. But currently it has been hard time for divers to see sharks and barracudas. Popular areas are south point and barracuda point. Normally instructor bring you those locations. But no guaranty to see what you want to see. They said a few years back many barracudas and sharks here. It is near from Mabul island and this island have nothing so just for diving. And protected area so rangers always check our behavior, last 2 days 2 Chinese got summon because holding a rock to take a picture. Please be careful!!!! 🙁 Current is strong so please get more energy to fight against it. Many turtles 🐢 here.
