Malaysia scuba diving - pulau kapalai island dive sites of Malaysia.
A few minutes by boat from
Sipadan
but a full world away from it lies the exhilarating Sipadan-Kapalai
Dive Resort, sitting on its sturdy stilts on shallow sandbanks of
the Ligitan Reefs. Planned and built in full style as an airy,
comfortable, sunny water village with no land in sight - but
boasting a mile-long sandbank of powdery blindingly white sand where
one can suntan at complete leisure.
The Resort offers great food, surprisingly roomy and elegant twin
sharing wooden chalets with huge private balconies and attached
bathrooms, and a couple of miles of walkways for those who like to
take their morning jog while looking at thousands of fish just a few
inches beneath their feet. Meals are served in the terraced, open
central structure, while a big western sun deck allow divers to have
an evening drink or an after dive chat with a background of fabulous
tropical sunsets. Diving around is exceedingly easy and shallow but
quite spectacular: the sandy bottom and the sparse coral heads host
an amazing array of small, often yet-to-be-classified, shamelessly
colorful subjects, making the diving here an unforgettable
experience for any discerning photographers.
