Borneo sipadan scuba diving - sipadan island
dive sites of borneo Malaysia.
Sipadan Island, the most famous island off Borneo, is a
diver's dream destination. We offer day trips from Semporna to this
truly remarkable island that sticks out of the 600m
deep Celebes Sea. At Sipadan turtles can be seen on every
dive but even while snorkeling there is a good chance to see some of
these breathtaking creatures.
The active scuba diver might see as many as 7 different kinds of
sharks. At Sipadan island Barracuda Point, perhaps the best
dive site of all, a tornado of Barracudas can often be spotted
darkening out the sun while schooling jacks and giant hump head
parrotfish are also regular sights. At South Pt. hundreds of
hammerheads and the very rare thresher sharks often patrol at depth
far off the wall while the Drop Off offers a great view down the
2000 foot wall.
For experienced cave divers we also arrange dives to the famous
turtle tomb, a 70m long cave system with several skeletons of
turtles that got lost in the cave while looking for a place to rest.
The boat trip from
Semporna
to Sipadan Island takes little more than 1 hour by speed boat.
