Explore Sipadan's top sites on guided fun dives for certified SSI divers, from the sheer walls and barracuda tornadoes of Sipadan Island to the macro muck reefs of Mabul and Kapalai. Local guides tailor each dive to your level and the day's conditions, whether you want pelagic encounters on the drop-offs or critter-hunting among ghost pipefish and cuttlefish. It is the easiest way to log dives in one of the world's great reef regions.
Fun dives carry no certification but require proof of an existing SSI (or equivalent) rating, stored in the SSI digital logbook. Inactive divers may need an SSI Scuba Skills Update before the deeper Sipadan-wall dives.
Fun dives range from the deep walls and drop-offs of Sipadan Island, known for barracuda tornadoes and turtle highways, to the shallow muck reefs of Mabul and Kapalai. Sipadan access depends on the daily permit system, and April to October offers the best conditions.
