Show all photos
8 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Sipadan Island, Malaysia's sole oceanic volcanic atoll, has one of the world's most diversified marine habitats. Despite being called to as "an untouched piece of art" by Jacques Cousteau, exploring this underwater wonderland requires careful planning and understanding. This expedition covers all equipment and gear, a permit cost, two different Sipadan dives site, and one dive on another island, total 3 dives. It discusses the several reasons why it makes sense to utilise professional diving tours while visiting Sipadan.

The permit is technically granted with a very strict relocation around few permits per day to one tour operator, hence each tour operator has its fixed number of enrolments, and the tour will be moved according to the quota available upon confirmation, with minimum advance open water certificate, and no date changes or cancellations permitted. War = Permits. Not tour no dive. They battle for permit. All you have to do is pay, we take care the rest.

At the Sabah Parks checkpoint, armed police guards examine permits, serving as a reminder of the island's rigorous protection. You're given briefing prior diving, and the group teams up with companions, the stage is set.

First Sipadan Dive - Back-rolling into the blue water of heaven, you’re engulfed in liquid sapphire. Descending along a coral-fanged wall, you feel the current’s pull a thrilling rollercoaster ride. Instant adrenaline. Current grabs you – like a river underwater. Safety stops double as entertainment: green turtles graze on sponges, or other potential marine life as it is wild. explore deeper and marvel the depth of the oceans.

Second Sipadan Dive - You explore an alien scene after dropping into a paradise of huge sea fans and staghorn corals. A bumphead parrotfish, as large as a refrigerator, crunches coral with beak-like teeth, its clicks reverberating in the quiet . Schools of jackfish swirl in unison, as whitetip reef sharks rest in sandy alcoves. Dive marshals hover overhead, making sure no fins harm the reef—buoyancy is critical here. This dive is a biodiversity masterclass.

Third Dive around the island, not sipadan eg, mabul before return back to jetty.
