🐠 SIPADAN ISLAND: Where the Ocean Floor Drops & Jaw-Dropping Begins! 🌊

#kotakinabalutrip The moment I plunged into Sipadan’s waters, the world flipped upside down—**600m underwater cliffs** became my playground, with swirling tornadoes of barracuda and turtles so chill they photobombed every shot! 🐢 **Spine-tingling moment?** Drifting along the **Drop Off** when a school of bumphead parrotfish the size of SUVs came munching past—their toothy crunching audible through my regulator! 😱 **Secret spot:** **South Point**'s hidden canyon where white tip reef sharks nap in underwater caves (flashlight required for peek-a-boo!). **Surface interval feast:** Beachside **coconut crab** so fresh it still remembered the ocean, served with lime-drenched kampung rice. 🥥 **Dive Itinerary:** ⏰ 7:30AM: Check tanks at Mabul ⏰ 9:00AM: Turtle Tomb drift dive ⏰ 12:00PM: Surface interval with spicy sambal sandwiches ⏰ 2:00PM: Barracuda Point tornado dive **Pro Tips:** - Pack motion sickness pills (currents love to tango) - Book 6+ months ahead (only 120 divers/day allowed) - Nikon/GoPro duel wield for macro & wide-angle Leaving required actual tears—this isn’t diving, it’s flying through God’s aquarium. ✨ P.S. That "post-Sipadan depression" is REAL.
