The taxi was called to come at 5.45am to collect us, but unfortunately was early, so we raced out of the house at the crack of dawn to catch our flight across the island to Tawau. Since it had been a hectic few days, we were a little worn out and the plane, van and boat rides that followed are a blur of dozy travel.
We arrived at the resort on Mabul and were given breakfast and a briefing. Once they determined we weren't massively experienced they sent us out on our orientation dives with an instructor and we were off!
We did a total of 10 dives in Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai. This is one of the top rated diving spots in the world and with good reason. We saw countless turtles, white-tipped sharks, spiralling barracudas, morays of all sizes and shapes, nudibranches, flamboyant cuddlefish, crocodile fish, bat fish, frog fish, lion fish, etc. etc. etc. The artificial reef alone boasts more than 500 species. We did our best to try to look up what we saw but it was too much. One guy took a gig worth of photos on his first two dives. It was beautiful, like being in a huge aquarium, and the conditions were perfect. E
