OMG i want to go to SIpadan or Mabul someday!!!So many corals down there!!!!More diverse than the west malaysian side as i only see loads of acroporas at Tioman.....not much corals with large polyps or what they call it LPS.

jangan jadi keanak-keanakan...internationa­l court sudah memberi exclusive right untuk pulau ini pada Malaysia so everybody need to accept it with open heart. One more thing,we are talking about nature/tourism here not politics my friend! Go to other forum if you really want to talk about it!

Hi Helgeroe,

Fabulous vid !! Love it to the max.May I know where did you stay and when did you visit Sipadan ?

I will be going there in December , dont know if its the best time.

Anyone can help ?

[helgeroe]

Thanks! :)

We were living at Lee Guesthouse in Semporna. Very good value for money!

Stayed in Semporna and dived Sipadan from February to April 2005. Should be good diving all year round, but not really sure when the best time is.

Go to my homepage, helgeroe dot com, for pictures and more information.

Kapalai Water Village. But the sea might be stormy in December. Better in May.

Guys, any1 of u got any cheap agent to go for diving trip at sipadan or not? i now saving money to go.

[helgeroe]

The cheapest way to dive Sipadan/Mabul is from Semporna. I was working for Uncle Chang, but also Scuba Junkie operates from Semporna. Both can be contacted through their homepages.

[cyruscare]

SO what is the webside, so how ab the budget?

About MYR 250 (~USD 70) for a 3 dive trip, I think...

Easy to find cheap places to sleep in Semporna or pay a little bit more and sleep in one of the budget lodges in Mabul.

Wow what an amazing video! My girlfriend and i dived sipidan and mabul but weren't able to film or take photo's so it's cool to remind ourselves of it with this video. Also amazing to see so many barracuda, we dived barracuda point at sipidan but didnt see ANY barracuda, apparently thats almost impossible!

[Sokitoit]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing ^.^

[blacktip29]

Awesome collection of undersea creatures!! Keep it coming.

[Imaginetm]

Excellent! Absolutely breath taking. Thank you for sharing.

[kurifuda]

how many dives did you take to make this vid??

[helgeroe]

Did more than 100 dives working as a instructor / dive guide and 12 dives as a paying customer. But did not bring the camera every time I was working. Also the time I can film is restricted when I got customers. Got more and more difficult to cut out/down clips to shorten the video.

The diving is amazing in Sipadan and the islands around and is highly recommended.
