Sipadan can be reached
within 20 minutes from Mabul. All dives take place at the famous drop offs of
Sipadan.
When diving around Sipadan you will meet always huge numbers of turtles and
whitetip reef sharks. One of the favourite dive sites is "Barracuda Point"
where you can see shoals of barracudas and jacks. Also grey reef sharks and
blacktip reef sharks out in the blue water, zebra sharks, napoleon wrasse, batfish,
leaffish, frogfish, nudibranchs, scorpionfish and many other things can be seen
at all other dive sites.
Very special is dive site "Drop Off", where a gigantic cave lies on
18 meters - even you cannot go inside without a special training and equipment,
the entrance area is already fascinating.
