Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - The Cement Wreck offers some of Sipadan's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
The Cement Wreck sits off Sipadan, a metal skeleton that’s become a home. It's not a huge wreck, more like a decent-sized barge, but it's draped in soft corals and sponges. You'll find schools of batfish circling the mast, and sometimes a few barracuda cruise by. For divers who enjoy poking around a structure with plenty of resident reef fish, it's a good alternative to the deeper walls nearby. It’s an easy dive, often with minimal current, making it approachable for most experience levels.
