The Dive - Sipadan / Mabul Island


We have a total of 3 guided dives each day. Evening & night dive is on our own for advance or divers with night dive experiences. Of cos, I get pretty excited because this is the first time I have been here (though Kok Loong is not because this is part of his hometown, he has been here during his childhood) and I have heard so many “incredible tale” of this underwater world that I can't wait to see it for myself.

Indeed every dive here was breathtaking… Big eye jack fish & Barracuda were swirling in huge school like a tornado! Giant humphead wrasse was in matching in big troop for morning breakfast among the corals in shallow waters. Awesome sight! Different type of bat fish, butterfly, angel fish, trigger fish, puffer fish, eels are common sight. It’s not only fish that you see. There’s this super huge giant turtle that was seen staying motionlessly during our night dive at Kapalai Dive Center Mandarin Valley. It stretches a length of about 2M, almost thought that it was a giant rock in the darkness. Haha…
