Resort recommendations for diving in Sipadan with good house reef snorkeling?
I’m looking for dive resorts in Mabul/Sipadan/Kapalai island with a good house reef so I have the option to snorkel freely anytime I want when I’m not diving.
I have looked at some of the more popular dive resorts in Mabul (seaventures, scuba junkies, Borneo diver, etc) but unfortunately the reviews indicate that the surrounding waters are full of trash and dead corals. It seems like the waters around the entire Mabul island are heavily polluted which is really sad. Though Seaventures has a nice house reef, but it’s only meant for diving it seems.
After a bit more research, I currently have my eyes on Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort, but it can be quite costly. So I’m wondering if you guys have any other suggestions or recommendations for me to look at before I decide? Thanks in advance.
