Diving Sipidan

Our holiday in Sabah was fantastic! Sipidan Island was all we had heard it would be. As far as big animals, half the group saw hammerhead sharks, half the group saw a manta ray, it just depended which way you were looking. I happened to see the hammerheads while Dave saw the manta!
The small stuff was really cool as well and the drop-off at Sipidan is amazing. The water depth goes from about 3 feet to probably 999 feet immediately. Absolutely incredible.

Some men fishing around Mabul Island. They call these people ‘sea gypies’. I guess they spend most of their lives living on the boats you see in the background and take the smaller boats out fishing. They go from island to island, whole families living on each boats.
