For those who don't know, Sipidan is very exclusive site in Malaysia where only a select few are allowed to visit on a daily basis. Staying overnight is not allowed. Hooray for sustainable environment plans! The ticket was a little pricey to go there but its totally worth it to say you've gone. So without a diver's permit, I snorkeled three sites around the island: Barracuda Point, South Point and the Cave. Obviously the names are for divers not snorkelers. We saw tons of fish, a tiny reef shark, several turtles, and two schools of fish. The coral was multi-colored and some swayed in the current like trees in the wind.
I thought spotting a sea turtle would be really hard in shallow water. I jumped off the boat and swam for less than a minute before spotting the majestic beauty gliding through the water. I already felt accomplished. Then there a bunch of pictures taken with the turtle courtesy of underwater camera.
