Underwater Cameras, Hand Gloves and Fish Pointers are totally banned in Sipadan
Spotted on a website sipadanonline.com
I was there (mabul) last month, the announcement last year never came to anything so there is no camera ban. There IS in theory a glove and pointy stick ban though but a lot of that is individual dive centre policy.
Speaking of the MV Celebes, the only liveaboard in Sipadan, has anyone been on it recently and can report on its condition? I read many reviews on Trip Advisor complaining about condition of the boat, diesel smell in rooms, tanks not getting regular maintenance. I'd like to hear from some of you. We were planning to go near the end of this summer, July/August 2015.
Thanks!
