Sipadan: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Sipadan Island is one of the world's most famous scuba diving sites. Lying out in the Celebes Sea, it is definitely something not to be missed under any circumstances when visiting Malaysia.
My suggestion
The number of visitors to Sipadan is controlled: only around 100 people per day are allowed, snorkellers included. Book your day as soon as you've made the decision to include it on your itinerary, or you may be in for a disappointment.
This is a diver’s paradise, famous for its barracuda tornadoes and turtle cemetery. A definite must if you plan to go diving on your Malaysian trip .
My suggestion
As the number of divers is limited to 120 per day, I advise you to book well in advance unless you are flexible in your dates or choice of diving centre, in order to stand a chance of getting this precious permit.
