Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - Landslide, Manukan Island offers some of Sipadan's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
The Landslide at Manukan Island isn't Sipadan's main event, but it's a solid choice for a laid-back dive, especially if you're just getting your fins wet. At a mellow 16 metres, it’s all about taking your time to spot the smaller stuff – we’ve seen plenty of nudibranchs here, patiently inching their way across the reef, and the occasional cuttlefish playing hide-and-seek. It’s a gentle introduction to the area, calm and clear, making it perfect for newer divers or anyone happy to just drift along and enjoy the quiet.
