Centre Point
Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - Centre Point offers some of Sipadan's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
Centre Point, sitting right in the middle of Sipadan’s famous wall, feels like being on the edge of a deep blue abyss. We often find ourselves drifting slowly, eyes scanning the open water for passing pelagics – reef sharks cruise by, and we’ve seen barracuda formations here. It’s a solid spot for divers who enjoy wall dives and the chance to spot larger fish rather than intricate reef details. If you like the feeling of limitless blue, you’ll appreciate it.
