Sipadan sala is recognized as the top 5 diving site in the world. Even if you just snorkel, you’ll see green turtles, coral gardens, sharks (hammerheads and whitetips), barracudas, and tons of coral fish. Macrodiving fans will also not be indifferent, as there is a great variety of frogfish, leaffish, small seahorses, etc.
It is forbidden to live on Sipadan Island, we recommend staying on Mabul Island (to be able to dive in Sipadan, you can also stay on Kapalai and Matakina Islands).
Sipadan has been granted the status of a nature park, so diving here is limited, only 120 people are allowed to visit this island per day.
Among the most beautiful diving spots in Sipadan are Barracuda Point, West Ridge, South Point and Turtle Cave, where experienced divers can swim inside.
