- sarah88: The visibility last Tuesday was insane. We saw about 20 green turtles and a massive school of bumpheads within the first ten minutes at Barracuda Point.
- kasiag_: Don't bother bringing a big camera setup if you aren't experienced with the currents here, they can get surprisingly strong near the drop-off.
Costs in Sipadan Island
