Pulau Sipadan Trips
The island is subject to permit restrictions and each operator has a limited number of permits for their guests who must hold an advanced diving certification of higher. For some this is fine because they are seeking a mixture of big stuff and small stuff. For those whose only priority is to maximise their time at Sipadan, a liveaboard is the best choice.
There is currently only 1 liveaboard choice in Sipadan Island. You can join for 3, 4 or 7 night trips. While you can expect to do some diving at Mabul and possibly elsewhere, liveaboard diving here means most of your time will be spent on the dive sites of Sipadan. You can make up to 2 day dives at Sipadan each full day.
Whilst the previous version of the Celebes Explorer gained a reputation of being somewhat less than comfortable and not well-maintained, the Celebes Explorer 9 is a totally different liveaboard. It was built in 2019. is more modern and provides much better accommodation than its predecessor.
