Lighthouse
Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - Lighthouse offers some of Sipadan's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
Lighthouse delivers some classic Sipadan action. We usually see whitetip reef sharks patrolling the reef slope, and a good chance for bumphead parrotfish cruising by. It’s a solid drift dive, often with a decent push, so it's best for divers comfortable in current. Keep an eye out for green turtles, they’re almost a given here.
