Amazing.. Is Pulau Dayang or Sipandan better?

Sipadan is much much more superior to Dayang. A great deal more - fish, marine life, varierty, coral, and the Sipadan waters are much more clearer. Take note tho, Dayang is on West Malaysia. Sipadan- is in East Malaysia, Borneo. Diving at Sipadan is so good that if my friends asked me to go this afternoon - I'd pack my bags in 5 minutes!

If you are logged in multiply- you can see the other hidden photos on my site. Cheers.

Dive as hard and as much as possible man, enjoy what is left of God's underwater Kingdom, I'm not a doomsayer but we humans are destroying such beauty.

Enjoy it, make use of the opportunity...

On a brighter note: things in the coral reef might not be so bad after all.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's Great Barrier Reef might be able to survive warming sea temperatures, as a result of global warming, better than first thought because some coral algae are more heat tolerant, Australian scientists said.

Coral geneticists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science have found that many corals store several types of algae, which can improve their capacity to cope with warmer water.

"This work shatters the popular view that only a small percentage of corals have the potential to respond to warmer conditions by shuffling live-in algal partners," said institute marine scientist Madeleine van Oppen.....
