Sipadan Island - Sabah, Malaysia
Simply the best diving spot in the world

An aerial view of Malaysia's Sipadan island in the tropical waters off the northeast coast of Borneo in this file photo dated May 1, 2000. The World Court on Tuesday ruled in favour of Malaysia in its dispute with Indonesia over two tiny palm-fringed islands-Sipadan and Ligitan—famed for exotic diving.

This description is not far from reality: it might even actually downplay a little bit, as Sipadan is considered one of the five top diving destinations in the world. This small rainforest-covered tropical island rising from a 700 meter abyss in the Celebes Sea is a destination the committed diver cannot miss.

Pulau Sipadan Resort & Tours Sdn Bhd , one of a handful of operators allowed to bring divers into this protected island, Divers will be confortably accommodate at Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort (Known best as Kapalai), offers great food and comfortable accommodation in simple, water chalets with attached bathrooms, mini refregerator and power points, with three boat dives a day, unlimited pier diving and not-to-be missed excursions to the nearby very different dive sites around Kapalai and Mabul.
