Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - Sutera Harbour Marina offers some of Sipadan's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
Okay, Sutera Harbour Marina. Let’s be clear, you’re not coming to Sipadan for this site, but it’s a perfectly decent shakedown dive if you’re staying nearby, or perhaps for a course. It’s a shallow coral reef, topping out at 13 meters, which makes it ideal for beginners or those wanting to test new gear. We’ve seen juvenile cuttlefish here, often hovering around the smaller bommies, and a good mix of nudibranchs if you slow down and really look. Visibility can vary, especially after rain, but it’s generally calm and current-free. Think of it as a gentle introduction before the main event.
