See sharks galore when diving Sipadan, Borneo
Ever since diving Jacques Cousteau raved about Sipadan’s diversity of marine life, this dive heaven has been the most famous scuba diving destination in Malaysia. It is also recognised as one of the top scuba diving destinations in the world.
Sipadan is the only oceanic island in Malaysia, rising 2,000 feet from the seabed. It is located in the Celebes Sea, off the East coast of Sabah, Malaysia. It is at the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin, the centre of one of the richest marine habitats in the world. Greater than 3,000 species of fish and hundreds of coral species are found here. This makes for fantastic scuba diving at Pulau Sipadan, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia!

If you’re lucky you may even see Hammerheads and other shark species when scuba diving Sipadan, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. This makes diving Sipadan a big fish capital of the world!
When scuba diving in Sipadan if you take the time to look closely at the walls you’ll see a wealth of macro life and fish species, although this is often overlooked due to the other ‘larger attractions’, such as turtles and sharks, vying for your attention.
