    kampung house on water..

    this is a house owned by one of the dive instructor in sipadan.. the interesting note on this place is it's on the island of mabul, in the midst of the a local village.. so, here, you get to experience two worlds.. the pristine marine world and the exotic local 'kampung'..

    basic accomodation but this is the cheapest way to dive sipadan island.. have the newest dive boat in sipadan.. good cook who sings too! full package rate costs approximately rm1000 for a 5 days 4 nights accomodation, full board and 10 dives.. simply worth every sen! highly recommended!

    this resort sits on the island of kapalai.. there is actually no island every time the tide rises.. which makes it very amazing as you'll be able to see all sorts of interesting marine life without even touching the water.. you can count on at least some turtle, starfish or lion fish sightings just from the platform walkway..

    imagine living on an oil rig out at sea.. enough said..

    nice deck for a tan and a drink.. accomodation is basic.. the down side? no beach.. a night dive is a must with resident frog fish and muray eel as thick as coconut trunk right under the rig..

    The room is an individual hut with washroom and fan. The water pressure is very low. So don't expect to have a shower as you stay at home. And the water is a little bit salty.

    The meal at the restaurant is very good. And seldom repeat the meal . The chef is very good. Meal and snack is include duing the stay.

    It's local in the Sipadan Island. It's great location and easy acess to most dviing site and for shore dive.

    Other diving resort need to come to my Island everyday. So we save at leave an hour on transportation everyday.

    We can have unlimited dive at any time.

    During my first trip to Sipadan, accommodations were confined to Sipadan island (now you can't stay there anymore) and Mabul island. There were 2 resorts in Mabul, one beach resort and Sipadan Water Village which consists of water bungalows. At that time Kapalai was not even developed (neither were digital cameras)!

    It's a resort beautifully constructed with Bajau architectural design. Part of the Mabul Island is also home to groups of Bajau fishermen who have built their traditional palm thatched houses. The Bajau Laut, the world's only tribe of nomadic sea gypsies spends their lives on the water.

    (Excerpt and photos taken from websites)

    For divers, expect to pay US$295 per person for full board, diving and transfers (3D/2N). All arrangements should be made during booking.

    - Water bungalows with huge sundecks that open out to the sea
    - Best food in Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai
    - Wonderful snorkelling just below all the water bungalows. You can just jump right in.

    Fell in love with this place especially my water bungalow. It's huge with comfy beds, big bathroom with hot water and a bathtub than opens out to the sea. The sun deck is fabulous with spectacular views especially to watch sunsets. Very romantic.

    As the bungalow is built on stilts over the sea, you'll never know what visitors might swim up right to your doorstep. During my stay, I said hello to stingray, pipefish, razorfish even barracuda!

    Made friends with the staff at the resort who are ever helpful. Did not have to lift a finger with my bags or dive equipment. Everything is set up with fresh tanks after every dive and washed. Never had to carry my own tank. Now that's what I call 5-star dive service. Really spoilt and pampered.

    Usually I'm not a fan of hotel food. But this place is an exception. Variety of food is wonderful and surprising since it is far and remote from the mainland. Absolutely delicious. It's all fusion, Asian and Western fare. There is even free flow of hot drinks especially my favourite Milo (chocolate drink) and biscuits/bread. Very important for hungry divers!

    Strongly recommended.

    - Water bungalows built on stilts over the sea.
    - Excellent and fully equipped dive center with an in-house videographer (it's great to have a DVD of you own dive!)
    - Fantastic house reef for day and night dives (the elusive Mandarin Fish is our resident in the house reef!)

    Gorgeous location on Mabul Island.
    Good food and set up for diving all around the Mabul and Sipadan Islands. Very experienced dive staff.

    Spectacular sunsets over the water.
    Wake up to the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea all around you. Beautiful!!

  • Sipadan Lodge - Pulau Sipadan
    Sipadan Lodge
    by CGarnett
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Sipadan Lodge is less expensive than the other lodges on the island, and you get what you pay for. This lodge is located on the far side of the island, which means beach diving at the Drop-Off isn't an easy option. The rooms are a decent size but very basic, with thin mattresses, thin pillows and hand-held salt-water showers. There are no towel/linen changes, so bring extra towels. Meals are included and buffet-style. The food is average. Although the diving is fantastic, the lodge's dive center is lacking. Equipment isn't well maintained, and we were disappointed by the lack of information offered by the dive masters. We were never fully briefed on a dive.

    I would recommend this lodge to experienced divers on a budget.

  • Lees is a welcome stop at a good price if you are thinking of staying in Semporna while diving at Sipadan. It is cheaper than the resorts at Mabul but with the change in Law limited divers to 100 per day, check that the Mabul operations don't get preference or it may be a false economy to stay on the mainland.

    Very clean,
    Air con,
    Private bath
    Satelite tv and
    very friendly staff.
