Sipadan popular dives sites.
 
Barracuda Point: No single dive site epitomizes the diversity of Sipadan quite like Barracuda Point. Named after the huge schools of Chevron Barracuda that are frequently found there, diversity is always the rule. In addition to the Barracudas, large schools of Jacks, Batfish and scores of huge Bumphead Parrotfish can also be seen there. Turtles abound as well as dozens of sharks. You never really know what you will see at Barracuda Point from one dive to the next, you just know that whatever it is, it will be good!
     
The Turtle Cavern: Located on the Sipadan drop of, just few metres away from the beach. Its massive opening on the wall leads to a huge room extending over 200 ft. (65M) back into the island. The first surprise is the sheer size of the cavern. The second surprise is the skeletal remains of Turtles, which have lost their way in the cavern at night and drowned while trying to find the way out for air. The cavern was above exposed to air during the last ice age when the lea level was lower, so it has Stalactites and Stalagmites in the far reaches. Schools of Fusiliers gather at the entrance ready to dart into the depths and hide from marauding Trevally.
     
Hanging Garden: This wall is covered in a multitude of soft coral and drops down to about 1968 ft (600m). Hawksbill & Green Turtles live on the ledges at this site and the current is usually quite calm. A great spot for photography as colourful corals hang from the interesting cracks and crevices along the wall.
     
White Tip Avenue: As with all the sites on Sipadan Island, the name says it all. Expect to see huge Black & White Tip Reef Sharks, Grey Sharks, massive Green & Hawksbill Turtles as well as large shoals of Jack & Barracuda. Depth: 1968 ft / 600 m.
     
South Point: A coral wall going down to 600 m. Dogtooth tuna, giant trevally, green turtles, white tip sharks and barracudas, bump headed parrotfish and jacks can be seen at 20-30 m depth. In 15-25 m divers can expect to see some beautiful fans, sponges and small caves with white tips or turtles.
