IMPORTANT
- Owing to the tremendous popularity of the Sipadan drop off, the Sabah Parks Management was forced to introduce a permit system to safeguard the fragile underwater environment and limit the number of divers to 120 per day on this particular site. As a result, each dive center must compete for allocated 120 permits per day to dive the Sipadan reef walls.
- These permits are allocated only 24 hours prior to each new dive day.
- Please take note that the permit to Sipadan Island is NOT GUARANTEED.
