Scuba Diving

Sipadan is a scuba divers paradise and is the most famous scuba diving destination in Malaysia. It is also recognised as one of the top scuba diving destinations in the world.

Green Turtles and Hawksbill Turtles nest on Pulau Sipadan – so when diving at Sipadan you will see Turtles literally everywhere.  When scuba diving one of the ten dive sites at Pulau Sipadan, Sabah, Malaysia you will also get the chance to see large schools of barracuda & big-eye Trevally, pelagic species such as manta rays, White Tip and Black Tip sharks. If you’re lucky you may even see Hammerheads and other shark species. This makes scuba diving Sipadan a big fish capital of the world!

When scuba diving at Sipadan take the time to look closely at the reef walls and you'll see a wealth of macro life and fish species. This is often overlooked during dives due to the other ‘larger attractions’, such as turtles and sharks, vying for your attention.

Turtle Hatchery

One of the most exciting features of Sipadan Island (Pulau Sipadan in Malaysia language) is scuba divers can easily spot over 10 sea turtles. The turtles of Sipadan also don’t seem to be afraid of human. As Sipadan is a paradise for turtles and they don’t feel threaten here, can’t this island be a favorite nesting ground of turtles too? Funny thing is, very few tourists even wonder this, so the turtle hatchery on Sipadan can remain as a hidden secret and not flooded by visitors.The baby turtles will be released into the sea. They don’t simply put all the baby turtles into a basket then pour them all into the sea. The correct way is to release the turtles about 4 Meters before the sea water. By doing so, they will remember their place of birth and come back in future for nesting. Scientists confirm that sea turtle has the ability to use Earth’s magnetic field to go back to where they hatch.
