WHO WE ARE
A unique "Water Village" resort,
Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort is located just 15 minutes from Sipadan.
Not only does it offer guests excellent rooms and the relaxing serenity
of the surrounding sea, it also offers first class macroworld diving
around more than thirty dive sites. At Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort,
divers can enjoy the best of two worlds diving in Sipadan and the macro
paradise of Kapalai. A sunny village built on the shallow sandbanks of
the Ligitan Reefs, the resort also comes with mile-long beach of fine
white sand where one can suntan at complete leisure.
Together with nearby Mabul, Sipadan-Kapalai has some of the best "muck-diving" in the world to offer. Rare subjects make frequent appearances on many of the dive sites, and the jetty dive has plenty to offer as well. Creatures such as the crocodilefish, lionfish and scorpionfish are so common, they are almost taken for granted!
