Sipadan Island
The internationally renowned island of Sipadan is an oceanic island formed by living corals growing on the peak of an extinct, under sea volcano. Rising 600 meters from the seabed, this 40 acre unspoiled island lies just 5 degrees north of the equator in the Sulawesi Sea (Celebes Sea), 35 kilometres to the south of Semporna, on Sabah’s mainland. Covered in a lush, dense forest and surrounded by a white, sandy shoreline, Sipadan sits at the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin - in the centre of the richest marine habitat in the world.
Diving Kapalai
Like the nearby island of Mabul, Kapalai also offers fantastic small critter diving. The Ligitan Reefs offer a safe haven for many of the juvenile species, far removed from the threat of dangerous reef predators found at Sipadan. The sandy bottom and sparse coral heads host an array of small and very colourful subjects. Rare species such as mandarin fish, dragonets, fire gobies, giant frogfish, wasp or leaf fish, ribbon eels, harlequin ghost pipefish are seen on a regular basis. For snorkelers this is paradise.
