Destinations: Where park permit numbers allow this will mean a 4 dive trip to Sipadan.

Alternatively it will be a 3 dive day around Kapalai and Mabul except for 2 dives on the day of arrival (depending on arrival time) and none on day of departure.

The number of dives quoted in the packages below is based on 3 dives per full diving day. On days when entry permits are granted for you to dive at Sipadan, you may make up to 4 dives per day.
