Details

Dive with Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort led by George

This is supposed to be one of the best dive sites around the resort and it was very good. It is named after the owner.

We saw lots of great stuff including the only other flamboyant cuttlefish of the trip and two stone fish with their mouths locked together.
