Newbie off to Sipadan 08/2003

[grandebleu]

Hi all. Started diving last summer - why did it take 30 years to come round to doing a PADI course ? Anyway, no regrets - its a fantastic sport - so thanks to whoever invented the aqualung...

Im off to Sipadan in August with Sipadan Dive Lodge. It's pretty exciting for me as Im expecting a whole lot of things - turtles, barracuda etc.

Any feedback on this little gem ? Diving paradise or overtouristed has-been ?

Welcome to my web:

You can find Sipadan photos and my dive log here, so you can have some understanding on the environment there. I was also living on Sipadan Island at Abdillah Resort, next to Sipadan Dive Lodge, which I think all resort there are almost same condition and service quality.

You are welcome to download my Sipadan Underwater Photo Screensaver.

I too started scuba in my 30s and asked the same question. Welcome to the greatest sport on earth and the best board on the web!
