TOP 5 THINGS TO SEE IN SIPADAN | Best Diving in the World

We spent a week diving Sipadan Island and had some amazing sightings (and so many hours of GoPro footage!). As we closed out our stay at the Seaventures Dive Rig Resort, we reflected on our favorite dive spots -- South Point, Barracude Point, North Point -- and sightings. Sipadan is known for being a great place to get good sightings of a few specific types of marine life, and over the course of our week's worth of dives, we got to see just about everything the region has to offer -- our top 5 were: bumphead parrotfish, schooling jackfish, schooling barracuda, sea turtles, and sharks. We got up close and personal with all of them -- check this video out to see just how close.

Very good camera shots - better than most videos i have seen. When god made sipadan, it intended for nature to thrive here. We are so glad Sipadan is part of malaysia. This is probably better than Philippines or Bali.
