Why dive here
With 119+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, giant moray eels, grey reef sharks, pygmy seahorses and sea turtles - Turtle Tomb offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest diving.
The Turtle Tomb at Sipadan’s South Point isn't a deep dive, but it's one we always find interesting. It’s essentially an underwater cavern where turtles often swim in and get disoriented, eventually perishing. We’ve seen several complete turtle skeletons down there, which is a surprisingly poignant sight. We’d suggest this site for experienced divers comfortable in enclosed spaces, as entry requires good buoyancy and awareness.
