Rocky Point
Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - Rocky Point offers some of Sipadan's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
Rocky Point, on Sipadan’s north side, is exactly what it sounds like. We’ve found it’s best when the currents are a bit mellow, allowing you to cruise along a slope dotted with smaller rocks and coral patches. Keep an eye out for patrolling reef sharks and bumphead parrotfish cruising past. It’s a solid drift dive for those who appreciate the wider reef scape.
