Important Information About Diving in Sipadan

Diving at Sipadan Island requires a permit, which may not be approved on certain days due to a limited quota set by Sabah Parks. Since approvals are issued only a day in advance, we cannot guarantee availability beforehand. However, our resort at Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort will still apply for your entry permit. If a permit becomes available during your stay, we will bring you to Sipadan for a fee. The longer your stay (ideally a minimum of 3 nights or more), the higher your chances of obtaining a permit. Currently, the island limits daily visitors to 250. Please note that due to government conservation efforts, Amazing Borneo and Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort cannot guarantee daily dives at Sipadan. We will, however, do our best to arrange dives for all our guests. Additionally, a minimum Advanced Open Water certification is mandatory for diving in Sipadan.

What Happens If There Are No Sipadan Permits Available at Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort?

Obtaining Sipadan permits is not guaranteed due to limited availability, especially for last-minute requests. If permits are unavailable during your stay at Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort, the resort management can assist you, upon request, in finding permits from other resorts. Please note that these permits from other resorts will incur an additional charge, ranging from MYR 150to MYR 300 per permit per day. This price is subject to change and will be confirmed upon request at the resort. All permit and boat fees will be payable at the resort according to the current rates. However, securing a permit remains subject to approval. Please note that Sipadan permits are not guaranteed, and there is no first-come, first-served system in place.

If a permit becomes available during your stay, we will bring you to Sipadan for a fee. The longer your stay (ideally a minimum of 3 nights or more), the higher your chances of obtaining a permit. Currently, the island limits daily visitors to 250. Please note that due to government conservation efforts, Amazing Borneo and Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort cannot guarantee daily dives at Sipadan. We will, however, do our best to arrange dives for all our guests. Additionally, a minimum Advanced Open Water certification is mandatory for diving in Sipadan.

ABOUT THE RESORT

A few minutes by boat from Sipadan but a full world away from it lies the exhilarating Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort, a unique “Water Village” sitting on its sturdy stilts on shallow sandbanks of powdery blindingly white sand where one can suntan at complete leisure – the Resort offers great food, surprisingly roomy and elegant twin-sharing wooden chalets with huge private balconies and attached bathrooms, and a couple of miles of walkways for those who like to take their morning jog while looking at thousands of fish just a few inches beneath their feet. Meals are served in the terraced, open central structure, while a big western sundeck allow divers to have an evening drink or an after-dive chat with a background of fabulous tropical sunsets.

ABOUT THE DIVING
Diving around is exceedingly easy and shallow but quite spectacular : the sandy bottom and the sparse coral heads host an amazing array of small, offer yet-to-be-classified, shamelessly colorful subjects, making the diving here an unforgettable experience for any discerning photographer.

Note: Flying After Diving
When diving on vacation a scuba diver needs to be aware that residual nitrogen poses a health risk upon decompression. This applies just as much to ascending in a jet as ascending to the surface of the water. The difference in air pressure, as a plane ascends to cruising altitude, is roughly equivalent to the last 14-16 feet of ascension in water and the same risks are evident including the bends (decompression sickness) and/or an embolism. If you fly after diving you risk extremely painful gas bubbles forming in your joints and flesh, or tragically in your blood, leading to an embolism and possibly even death. A good conservative rule is to ensure that you have no residual nitrogen in your body before flying. Following the NAUI dive tables, you should be in letter group A or less (which can take over 9 hours). A safe suggestion is to pass a full 24 hours after your last scuba dive before flying. Dive computers, which track nitrogen levels, have a "time-to-fly" indicator, which tells a scuba diver how long they need to wait before boarding a plane. Plan your last dive sensibly, so that you aren't bringing nitrogen along for a painful and possibly fatal return trip.
