Sibadan-Kapalai Dive Resort On Kapalai Resort

A few minutes by boat from Sipadan lies the exhilarating Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort, sitting on its sturdy stilts on shallow sanbanks of the Ligitan Reefs. Planned and built in full style as an airy, comfortable, sunny water village with no land in sight - but boasting a mile-long sandbank 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 sun deck allow divers to have an evening drink or an after dive chat with a background of fabulous tropical sunsets.

Diving around is exceedingly easy and shallow but quite spectacular : the sandy bottom and the sparse coral heads host an amazing array of small, often yet-to-be-classified, shamelessly colourful subjects, making the
diving here an unforgettable experience for any discerning photographer. The Resort offers three dives a day plus, if requested, day trips at Sipadan & Mabul. Combine diving in Sipadan and the macro paradise of Kapalai.
