Okay, so Sea Wolf. It’s a small tug, nothing huge, about 11 metres long, but it offers a nice change from the usual wall dives around Sipadan. You'll drop onto the deck, maybe three metres below the surface, and immediately you’ll see the resident batfish circling, often in a lazy school. We like to follow them through the superstructure, which is still quite intact, letting us poke into the wheelhouse and the small engine room. It's a quick dive, easily paired with something else, and perfect if you’re into macro stuff – we’ve found some decent nudibranchs tucked away in the shadows. Just watch your buoyancy; it's tight in some spots.
