First of all. Sipadan is on the top list of diving destinations by famous Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
There is no resort on the island. They are permission sold every day to access the island no matter you are a diver, visitor or snorkeller.

These permits are distributed to many diving schools. Scuba Junkie is one of the biggest. So the chance to get there is the biggest.

Scuba Junkie Sipadan Mabul is a great option for diving for wide range of divers. From budget to more rich clients.

For budget clients, you can stay in Semporna and access Sipadan and other islands every day from diving boats. You can save on cheap accommodation.

If you are on better budget you can stay at Mabul Island. It is the closest to Sipadan Island. You can have there different types of bungalows. Cheaper with fans, better with air-condition. Quality of accommodation and food is really nice.

Diving service is great. Groups were maximum of 6 persons for the divemaster. The equipment was nice.

Why is worth going to Sipadan? The answer is simple, great wall diving and great underwater life. Rich and healthy corals. On one dive you can see plenty of turtles and sharks.

The best spot for sure is Barracuda Point. On one dive there I got 25 turtles and stop counting! Reef and grey sharks. Leopard shark. Diving starts in the middle of big school of Jack fish!!!! Around we saw just fishes! 10 minutes later we photograph a school of barracudas. We were no lucky but we saw from the distance that few divers were able to get into the center of barracudas tornado swimming around. When we arrived they changed formation to one big sphere. We finished our diving with a big school of Green humphead parrotfish.

They are great corals and other dive sites around. And other Islands great for macro. Mabul is great for macro as well. We found plenty of frogfish, flamboyant cuttlefish, sea horses and mandarin fish.

They have also a season in Sipadan to spot sometimes hammerheads as well.

It is really worth place to dive and have a vacation.
