About this experience

Diving & Snorkeling in Sipadan Island is a guided underwater excursion at Malaysia's only oceanic island, located off the east coast of Borneo in the Celebes Sea. The site features a sheer drop-off, coral gardens, and a protected marine park with over 3,000 fish species. Daily permits are limited to 120 divers, ensuring controlled access to this UNESCO-listed biodiversity hotspot.

What to expect

  • Guided boat departure from Semporna at 7:00 AM, with two dives or snorkel sessions lasting 3–4 hours total.
  • Includes full scuba or snorkel gear, weights, and a certified dive master or snorkel guide for groups of up to 8 participants.
  • Encounter barracuda and jackfish tornadoes at Barracuda Point, and green or hawksbill turtles at Turtle Cavern.
  • Snorkelers stay within the shallow reef flats (2–6 metres) near the jetty, observing clownfish, parrotfish, and sea fans.
  • Suitable for certified divers (Open Water or higher) and confident swimmers; non-divers can snorkel with a guide.
  • Permit fee and park conservation charge are included in the package price, with lunch and drinking water provided on the boat.
