Top Notch Dive Resort in Sabah

We have been to Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort a few times but this is the first time we are there as divers. It is suggested to stay at least 3 nights so you get a 1 night guaranteed Sipadan diving trip. Feel free to stay more than 5 nights to get a guaranteed 2 days Sipadan dive permit 😝. We max our dives over the three nights we stayed and enjoyed the resort’s house reef very much. Though it comes at a hefty price tag compared to other dive resorts around Mabul/Semporna, the service provided by the dive centre is impeccable. From the dive guides to all the staffs, they’re all ready to help and always on standby wherever we are surfacing from our dives or getting ready for boat dives. We were lucky to always have the boat to ourselves, it was much more enjoyable and easier while gearing up on the boat without having to squeeze with a boat loaded full of divers. All equipments have to be rented (except for tank and weight) unless you have your own. That being said, you can enjoy unlimited dives in the house reef. A typical day would include 3 boat dives for those who are under diver’s package, during your free time you can do extra dives with your buddy at the house reef, normally unguided. For night dives at the house reef, as we are still amateur divers we requested their dive guide to join us and they were willing to do so without charging us extra. A dive comp would come in handy for all your self guided dives there. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #divingtrip
