Come dive or snorkel at one of the top 10 diving sites in the world. World famous Sipadan Island is home to thousands of turtles, schooling sharks, swirling barracuda, and awe-inspiring coral walls that drop to more than 2,000 metres deep down to the sea floor. Mabul Island is just 20 minutes boat ride from Sipadan Island. It is one of the best macro diving sites in the world. Over here, you can muck dive and encounter many weird and amazing critters including blue-ringed octopus, harlequin ghost pipefish, dwarf stonefish, seahorses and many more. Another macro lover paradise is Kapalai Island where you get to see many rare critters. Most dives here are done in relatively shallow water and are perfect for the newbie or the more experienced divers.

Sibuan Island is one of the most beautiful islands in Celebes Sea. You get to see pygmy seahorses, frog fish, mandarin fish, black urchins and hammerhead nudibranch found in Mandarin Bay and many others. In volcanically formed Mantabuan Island, you get to find manta rays, blue-spotted sting rays, eagle rays, devil rays and even black coral. Soft and large corals can also be found here.

Mataking Island is postcard picture perfect of unspoiled beach paradise and a dive sites for macro and pelagic enthusiasts.  Even the first season of SURVIVOR was filmed here. Not only do you get to see small critters but also grey reef sharks, hammerheads, manta rays, and even whale sharks if you are lucky. Another great island for macro diving can be done at Si-Amil island which is an hour boat ride from Mabul island and many more.
