Sipadan

Hop! Back to Borneo. Here is my little video shot in July 2013, at the entrance of the famous Sipadan underwater cave called "Turtle Tomb".

Sipadan. An island of dreams, explored by Cousteau. But under military surveillance, for the safety of divers and the preservation of the reef.

Sipadan. Three mythical syllables for divers in Asia! Sharks, turtles, barracudas and trevallies ...

Hop, we go to Malaysia to dive to Sipadan ... As a mouthing, I made it simple: a video, a shark, a minute.

I'm coming back from Borneo! Highlight of the trip: the dives in Sipadan, Malaysia ... Yes, for me, Borneo has more the color of the sea than the jungle.

To read in Plongeur.com Magazine, my contribution of solo diving diver. A ticket mood or rather humor: Beware of the ball!

In July, during my stay in Sipadan (Borneo, Malaysia), I had prepared two short underwater videos. Here they are !

Flashback. July 13, 2009. My stay in Mabul is coming to an end. Ultimate and fabulous dives, again, in Sipadan. On the way back, between the two islands, a school of dolphins accompanies for a moment the race of our speedboat ... Ultimate happiness.

I'm one of those divers who can spend long minutes enthralled by a nudibranch. These delicate little sea slugs abound in Mabul and Sipadan.

I released my last bubbles in Sipadan on Monday. Ultimate and intense underwater emotions amidst sharks, turtles and barracudas...

I had a dazzling memory of my dives in Sipadan three years ago. Today's ones amaze me just as much. Turtles, sharks and barracudas are still there. It's spectacular!

After my malaise trip from summer 2006 to the northeastern tip of Borneo (Sipadan Island), I feel the urge to return to soak my palms in the sea of Celebes. A little further east, this time: on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.

The big day is here. Today, finally, I plunge to Sipadan. The site does not usurp its reputation. It's spectacular. Sharks and turtles galore. Fish everywhere. All along a vertiginous "wall" where the corals abound, which sinks into the blue.

The islands around Sipadan are unknown and yet they are worth seeing. I dive there almost every day until the end of the week, waiting for my turn to go to Sipadan.

I've got plenty of time to make plans at D-87... This will be mainly a "diving and lounging" trip. Hence my choice of stops: islands and beaches.
