Sipadan. If you are looking for a memorable break on beautiful
equatorial islands with pristine white sand beaches coupled with
outstanding underwater marine beauty and diversity, then scuba

plays host to an amazingly diverse range of scuba destinations.
Places of note include the spectacular Sipadan area on the East
coast including the neighbouring Islands of Kapalai and Mabul which
are world renowned destinations for macro dives, Layang Layang's
hammerheads off
the North-West coast of Borneo in the South China Sea, and Lankayan,
the latest hot destination that offer new frontiers if you are

turtles and dive amongst a swirling tornado of barracuda around Sipadan
Island, or in Layang Layang dive on the pristine coral atoll with
