When it comes to logistics, Sipadan Island is a bit more challenging to reach compared to other dive destinations in Malaysia. The island itself is uninhabited, and there are no accommodations or restaurants on the island, so divers will need to stay on nearby Mabul or Kapalai islands. From there, divers will be able to take a boat to Sipadan Island for diving. It's important to note that the number of divers allowed on the island is restricted to 250 per day, so it's important to book your trip in advance.
