Diving into world class sipadan site.

Sipadan Island, Malaysia's sole oceanic volcanic atoll, has one of the world's most diversified marine habitats. Despite being called to as "an untouched piece of art" by Jacques Cousteau, exploring this underwater wonderland requires careful planning and understanding. This expedition covers all equipment and gear, a permit cost, two different Sipadan dives site, and one dive on another island, total 3 dives. 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. War = Permits. Not tour no dive. They battle for permit. All you have to do is pay, we take care the rest.
