The Sipadan's photos and videos shown on this page highlight the dive opportunities revolving around its dramatic walls, schooling barracudas and beautiful natural light in the upper 5-8 meters at the coral garden plateau. Expect giant sea turtles on most dives, patrolling blacktip reef sharks and if the current allows dense school formations of jackfish and the famous barracuda vortex. Wide-angle underwater scenes work best at the edge of the plateau where pelagic subjects such as bumphead parrotfish pass close to the wall and silhouettes pop against blue water.
Many professional film crews with filming permits (from Cousteau's orioginal crew in the 1980's to the BBC's Blue Planet serie or Disney and Netflix) and underwater videographers have benefited from the wide variety of behaviors of the marine life around Sipadan.
Conservation rules are strict and help keep images natural. Maintain respectful distance from resting turtles, avoid blocking their ascent paths, and never touch corals or the substrate. Streamline hoses, secure pointers, and keep fins elevated on ledges to prevent accidental contact.
