Dive Into the Unknown: Discover the Hidden Underwater Paradises That Will Revolutionize Your Next Adventure
Sipadan Marine Park
Rising 2,000 feet above the sea floor and covered in 100 species of coral, this is the oceanic island that draws people to the region. Due to its popularity, you’ll need a park permit and Advanced Open-Water Certification, with a max of two dives per day at Sipadan’s 13 sites. Barracuda Point is the channel where these toothy beasts love to congregate, and West Ridge is where the bumphead parrotfish like to bask in the dawn light.
Paradise 1 & Paradise 2
While the beige sandy bottom and artificial reef of north Mabul Island might not seem like much at first, here lies some of the Coral Triangle’s finest macro and muck diving. Scouring the sea floor we found a plethora of colorful nudibranchs, cuttlefish, frogfish (Mike’s new favorite creature), and more weird and wonderful marine life. Plus, we saw a school of ~800 jackfish!
