Borneo si-amil island scuba diving - si-amil
islands dive sites of borneo Malaysia.
Si-Amil is located south of Boheyan and more than an hour by
speed boat from
Semporna. It is the only island with a steep hill covered in
rainforest that is home to a large group of moneys. Landing on the
main beach the left over of a Japanese fish factory that was built
as a cover for surveillance activities prior to WW2 can be seen.
Right in front of the main beach there is the wreck of an old vessel
that was used by the Japanese during the war with the boiler being
the main point of interest. At the east side of the island, where
the ocean floor drops into the several hundred meter deep Alice
Channel, the dive sites offer excellent visibility with colorful sea
fans and hard coral domination the landscape. At night bamboo sharks
are seen in numbers, but even in day time shark sightings are common
as well as schooling rainbow runner and rays.
