Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - Blue Water Wreck offers some of Sipadan's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
Sipadan isn't just about the pelagics, though we'll never say no to a hammerhead. The Blue Water Wreck offers a different flavour, a chance to explore a small, steel-hulled vessel that's settled upright on the seafloor. It’s a good spot for some relaxed penetration, if you're qualified, poking around the holds where schooling fusiliers often gather, creating shimmering curtains of silver. Keep an eye out for resident batfish and the occasional reef shark patrolling the perimeter. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate history and the way the ocean reclaims human structures.
