Back from Sipadan

Just came back from Sipadan feeling very refreshed- but at the same time- quite depressed. Wish I had stayed on for a few more days. It such an amazing experience diving off Sipadan. The resort is on top of a column of coral. You jump off and its just a sheer drop all the way down to the aqua blue bottom; I felt like I was flying.

Its a bit like jumping off a skyscraper.

We were surrounded by fishes - a thousand strong school of Trevally were to the right of us. Several large white tip sharks were swimming near the bottom. And the wall or massive pillar of coral with thousands of colorful fishes and marine life were living on. We also saw several large green turtles - one of them just asleep on the rocks.

Amazing.
