Best dive site in Sipadan!! Jack fish storm, barracuda, sea turtles, Double-headed parrotfish

I did a 2 day 1 night snorkeling package here. Their accommodation on mabul is a very comfy and well taken care of longhouse. Every meal is a buffet of chicken and fish, several vegetables, watermelon, rice, and porridge. They will also cook any seafood that you buy from the local seafood vendors who stop by multiple times a day. At night, the local kids come by and they are hilarious! The instructors also drink and sing songs with guests on the rooftop deck. The snorkeling was great and I was lucky enough to basically have a private guide who took me out farther and helped me practice swimming down so I could observe the smaller fish. Shout out to Uriel/Ariel. Overall, it was a phenomenal experience. As a word of caution, bring in your clothes before you go to sleep or they might blow away and end up on shore. Oh and you can also watch sea turtles at night and in the morning.

Made the right decision to book my dives and accommodation here. Not only did they guarantee two days of diving at Sipadan Island (where others wouldn't) I actually dived four days. Restaurants and markets are all within walking distance.

A must visit place in your bucket list if you come to Semporna, such a majestic view. Too beautiful to describe. Walking along the forest, really give calmness to your mind and soul, freshen up your day. Please wear proper shoes, sandals are not allowed, bring your own drink (but please bring down your own thrash), small towel, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, wear suitable attire for hiking because some part of the trek are quite step and bit challenging especially if it's raining during the hike or after rain. From the starting point to the Viewpoint, it's about 800 meters walking (30 minutes walking approximately depends on your pace and stamina). I've been here twice but still amazed by its beauty!

I completed a total of 9 dives over the course of three days with Scubaholics. The experience was incredible. Ken is a great person and excellent dive master. He ensured the team was well taken care of and entertained us with stories about his life, diving experiences as well as information about the region and wildlife. While diving, Ken took some great photos/videos and kindly sent them to us. I’m new to scuba diving having only completed my open water certification 1.5 weeks prior to my dives with Scubaholics. I’m glad I choose this company because the experience really helped me feel more comfortable under water. Three days spent with great people in beautiful locations exploring underwater worlds. I loved every minute. Thanks for everything Ken. Looking forward to diving with you again in the future!

Tun Sakaran Marine Park (TSMP) are situated at the entrance to Darvel Bay, off the East coast of Sabah near the town of Semporna, it took about 45 minutes by speed boat from the jetty of this small town. Named after then the Head of State of Sabah, Tun Sakaran Dandai, it was gazetted in July 2004 as Sabah’s seventh park. The Park is the largest Marine Park and covering 340 sq kilometers of sea and corals reef and 10 sq kilometers of land. Comprising 8 islands, their surrounding reefs, and sea. Its main objective is to protect their environment and to promote sustainable use of natural resources. Geologically, the islands are formed from Quaternary pyroclastic material, which was ejected during explosive volcanic activity. Pulau Bodgaya, Boheydulang, Tetagan, Selakan, Sebangkat, Maiga, Sibuan and Mantabuan.

I’m truly amazed by how incredible this team is, everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm. I made the booking via WhatsApp with MJ, and after enquiring with a few other places, I chose them because they provided the clearest details and transparent pricing for everything. There were six of us, and we booked a 2-day island-hopping trip. A day before, my husband decided he wanted to dive, and they were so accommodating in helping to arrange it for him. In the morning, there was about an hour’s waiting time as they had to get clearance with Sabah Park with our information. It’s understandable since it varies daily, so it’s always better to arrive early. They provided towels, coffee, tea, fruits, unlimited water, and a delicious lunch served with such care. On the boat, there were several assistants to help you get in and out of the water safely, which was such a thoughtful touch. This was hands-down the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. In other places, the boat usually drops you off, and you’re left to swim around on your own, searching for marine life and corals. But here, we had a guide named Ben, such a funny and friendly guy. He brought two floating rings for those who couldn’t swim and guided us around, pointing out all the amazing finds underwater. We had so much fun! By the third snorkeling session, we were all exhausted and sunburned, so be prepared if you’re not used to long days in the sun. They had sunscreen on, but we still ended up sunburned especially on our backsides while sitting on the boat (not sure how that even happened!). It was heartbreaking to see the amount of rubbish scattered around and boats deploying anchors on the coral. When the anchors were retrieved, they sometimes pulled up corals with them. I have no words to express how sad this was, and honestly, I don’t know how to stop it, it’s such a complex issue that feels overwhelming to address as someone from across the globe. That said, I would absolutely recommend this team to my friends. They were such a pleasure to deal with, and everything was so well-organized. Not to forget, we visited during the low season (January 24–25). It was raining when we arrived, but the sun eventually came out, and we were lucky to have bright, sunny weather. Of course, visibility might be even better during peak season. Thank you again for such a memorable experience!
