Diving In Malaysia

The Sipadan Island is rated as one of the world’s top ten diving destinations. More than 3,000 species of fish and hundreds of coral species have been classified in this richest of ecosystems.

It is surrounded by very rich reef life consisting of both hard and soft coral as well as many species of reef fish. Sipadan is well known for its unusually large numbers of green and hawksbill turtles which gather there to mate and nest and it is not unusual for a diver to see more than 20 turtles on each dive. The residential schooling barracuda and big-eye Trevally, which often gather in thousands forming spectacular tornado-like formations, are one of the highlights on every diver's wish-list. With the possibility of seeing pelagic species such as mantas, eagle rays, scalloped hammerhead sharks and whale sharks, each dive at Sipadan is a highly anticipated event. It is not only the big fish that amaze divers coming to Sipadan, the macro life is equally mesmerizing. Garden eels, leaf scorpion fish, mantis shrimps, fire gobies and various pipefish are guaranteed at various dive sites.
