Sipadan Drop-Off
Overview
Sipadan Drop-Off is one of the world's most dramatic wall dives — a vertical cliff plunging from 3 meters to over 600 meters into the abyss. Sea turtles rest on ledges along the wall, whitetip reef sharks patrol the deeper sections, and the blue water column creates a hypnotic sense of depth. The wall is covered in excellent hard and soft coral.
