I joined one day trip scuba diving Sipadan on december 25th 2011. Dives masters were friendly, profesional and I paid full price (600 Rm/per).

I joined its 7days Sipadan liveaboard diving tour and spent one night there before the trip started. The air conditioner is horribly noisy, also the electric generator right downstairs out of your poorly assembled window. Only a towel-thin blanket offered which is not enough at all at night. Health condition is doubted as I got 10 bugs bites on my... More

Unfortunately a disappointing stay at the complicated sounding Borneo Global Sipadan Backpackers. Admittedly this place is very cheap, but the water doesn't work properly in the bathrooms, which means flushing the toilet or taking a shower involves visting reception and using a bathroom in one of the lower floors. Reason was apparently that they "can't always pipe water to the... More

we stay for 5d4n, at deluxe room (1 double and 1 single) with ensuite bathroom, the place is clean and quiet. Breakfast is toast bread (with peanut butter) and coffee or tea (they marketed as simple malaysian breakfast, which part of malaysian i don't know) although at first the staff seems to be "cold" they got friendlier at the end....

Arranging the package with them was a breeze, thanks to the prompt and informative replies to your inquiries by nicolas. Requires 50% deposit. Great location in Semporna, just in front of the jetty, gets you to sipadan in an hour or so with their 400 hp dive boat. Staff and crew were very accommodating, thanks to Christina, we had a...
