Details

Dive with Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort led by George

Sandy bottom with artificial structures. A lot of organisms were living in the artificial environment. I wish we'd had more time here. We were pretty rushed and I'm sure we could have found even more interesting organisms. I also could have spent more time taking photographs of what we found.
