Scuba Diving Malaysia-Pulau Kapalai
A
few minutes by boat from Sipadan
but a full world away from it lies the exhilarating Sipadan-Kapalai
Dive Resort, sitting on its sturdy stilts on shallow sanbanks
of the Ligitan Reefs. Planned and built in full style as an
airy, comfortable, sunny water village with no land in sight
- but boasting a mile-long sandbank of powdery blindingly white
sand where one can suntan at complete leisure - the Resort offers
great food, surprisingly roomy and elegant twin sharing wooden
chalets with huge private balconies and attached bathrooms,
and a couple of miles of walkways for those who like to take
their morning jog while looking at thousands of fish just a
few
inches beneath their feet.
Meals are served in the terraced, open central structure, while a big western sun deck allow divers to have an evening drink or an after dive chat with a background of fabulous tropical sunsets. Diving around is exceedingly easy and shallow but quite spectacular: the sandy bottom and the sparse coral heads host an amazing array of small, often yet-to-be-classified, shamelessly colorful subjects, making the diving here an unforgettable experience for any discerning photographer. Combine diving in Sipadan and the macro paradise of Kapalai.
