It takes only about 45 minutes to arrive. Clear water, brilliant seabed, colorful fish dance around you. I couldn't wait to see everything around me and try to record it with my camera, but I found that although the camera can retain the moment, it is incomparable with the feeling of being in it. Due to the strict restriction of 120 people per day, diving in Sipadan is hard to find. Sipadan Island is an island formed by coral reefs at the top of an extinct volcano on the sea floor, rising up to 600 meters from the seabed. Located at the heart of the Indian Pacific Basin and with the richest marine ecosystem in the world, more than 3,000 species of fish and hundreds of species of coral have been identified and classified. A large number of green turtles and hawksbill come to the island to mate and nest, making Sibadan famous for this rare phenomenon - thousands of Barracuda and big-eyed squid, forming a spectacular picture like tornado eyes. Sipadan Island is also famous for its unique "tortoise grave". The term "tortoise grave" refers to the burial place of many sea turtles who were drowned because of their lost way. Their remains are distributed in submarine caves and passages, forming a magical submarine maze. Vertical cliffs are characteristic of Sibadan, where sharks can be seen while snorkeling. Divers who want to see huge fish and turtles must also come here.

    The sea is really clear in Shibadan, we saw a storm of fish in Shibadan. It is spectacular and shocking among thousands of fish. The most beautiful thing is to see the coral garden, in the colorful coral colonies, countless small fish of various colors are swimming, beautiful. As for turtles, there are too many, and they are no longer feeling.

    Malaysia's Sibadan Island is one of the world's most famous diving shrines. The sea surface of this island is very deep trenches, and it is vertically descended. There are rich corals on the cliffs of the trenches. So you can see the underwater world from here. Every day, diving lovers from all over the world come to visit.

    This island in Sabah is quite famous as one of the best scuba diving spots in the world. With more than 3000 species of fish in its waters, and the area being the center of mating turtles, it's no surprise that you can see up to 20 turtles while diving here.

    Landscape paradise is not a false name. The water quality here is very good, the corals on the seabed are very clear.

    Come here, just know what is the world diving palace, we come in the off-season, can easily get the qualification to go to the island, the peak season is said to be 2 or 3 months ahead of time to apply for queuing, once underwater, encountered a fish storm, tens of millions of fish clumps, right beside me, magnificent, and then there are turtles everywhere and tropical fish of various colors, of course, from time to time brush past. The sharks, this time extremely lucky to encounter 230 giant croakers, each about 1 meter, a bit scary, where the sea water visibility is excellent, the beach is snow-white, 50 meters away from the island is up to 700 meters deep trench, that kind of dark blue is a little scary, the diving photos below are taken by underwater cameras.
