A taste of heaven

Hello again!
Even though I love teaching a lot however I still needed a break to re-charge myself. Therefore, I took a week off .
And guess where I've been to - One of the best dive sites in the world - Sipadan!

It was actually my 2nd trip to Sipadan. The first time was about 5 years ago when AirAsia offered free tickets to Tawau. Unfortunately at that time I only snorkelled around the island. This time round, its different because I went as a diver and stayed at the Seaventures Dive Resort, an oil rig turned into a dive resort.

Totally a different experience as it located in the about 1km away from the white sandy beach of Mabul Island. It is definitely not the usual beach resort.

And no wonder some of them call Sipadan as an underwater paradise.

With 8 to 10 turtles, 2 metres sharks and a school of barracuda surrounding you, no words can ever describe it.

To experience it yourself, get certified as a diver, and get your ticket with us to Tawau.

I have been to Sipadan also. This place is great, soooooo beautiful! I stayed at Mabul island, not cheap tho, RM 400 per person a night but includes meals and boat/ van transfer!

I love the green turtle picture you took! The flippers,so natural! My film underwater camera is not so good. Are you trying to kiss a puffer fish (last picture)?
