It discusses the several reasons why it makes sense to utilise professional diving tours while visiting Sipadan. The permit is technically granted with a very strict relocation around few permits per day to one tour operator, hence each tour operator has its fixed number of enrolments, and the tour will be moved according to the quota available upon confirmation, with minimum advance open water certificate, and no date changes or cancellations permitted.
