Pulau Sipadan is the main maritime island in Malaysia, and before 2002 was the subject of an exceptional territorial issue with Indonesia. It’s appraised by numerous dive journals as one of the best dive destination on the planet.

One of the island’s extraordinary highlights is a turtle tomb, a submerged limestone cave that highlights numerous thin passages and chambers containing the remaining parts of green ocean turtles that have turned out to be trapped and drowned.
