Rainy seasons may be expected around November, but this is an adventure not to be missed by divers alike; for Malaysia has the immaculate, sunny Sipadan Island to offer as a memorable vacation. Located off the coast of East Malaysia, right at the heart of the Indo-Pacific Ocean, Sipadan Island is promised to offer an unforgettable underwater experience to avid divers. The extensive species of marine life boasts of 3000 different types of creatures with hundreds of multihued corals within its ecosystem.
Sipadan Island possesses nine divine spots for diving. The names are in particular given by divers who experiences extraordinary sightings here. Among the perfect locations are Hanging Garden, Barracuda Point, White-tip Avenue, Coral Garden and Turtle Patch. Barracuda Point, as the name suggests, pledges the picture of a huge school of barracudas to come across the divers’ path.
Due to the ethereal beauty of this island, Malaysian government has taken some actions to help preserve its nature. A maximum of 120 divers are allowed each day, and these numbers are divided evenly among 12 resorts in Mabul and Kapalai. Thee resorts offer a bungalow and a duplex to choose from, with international class facilities; air conditioning, ceiling fans, water heaters, superb view from a private balcony, satellite tv, fly screens and a mini bar. Not to worry because in these resorts the electricity will be supplied 24 hours to visitors who would like to stay indoors. On the other hand, the divers who came to enjoy the undersea experience will be transported via ferry to the diving locations.
All trades will be issued in Malaysian currency (RM) to ease transactions. However, money changers are available in airports and Semporna town. Therefore, the travelers who planned to pay a visit are advised to change their money beforehand, since these resorts do not provide ATM machines.
