Plenty of sea creatures especially the turtles and untouch coral reeves. Experience the local village living style occupied with full knowledge of sea survivor skills. Sipadan claims to be the world's best dive site. While this is a big claim, the diving here is certainly world class. Sipadan used to have resorts but to protect the environment these were closed around the year 2002. To dive on Sipadan you have to stay somewhere nearby, such as on Mabul or in Semporna, and take a boat onto the island.
