Great diving/snorkeling, Relaxed Island

Just returned from a great diving holiday on Sipadan Island! The diving was impressive, although visibility wasn't as good as we'd hoped (5-10m), and the currents were strong. Still, we saw an unlimited number of gorgeous sea turles-- truly spectacular!-- and plenty of reef sharks, barracuda, wrasses and triggerfish. But we were even more impressed by the snorkeling! It's a must for even hard-core divers with its up-close array of reef fish, sea turles, barracuda, etc.

There's something special about a small island like Sipadan. Brilliant sunsets, full-moons and amazing sea life. We'll definitely return!
