Went for a scuba diving vacation on the 13th of January'10 for 6 days. We were lucky to get a 4days permit to dive at Sipadan.

Here are some pics i would like to share. Thanks to my Sony T100 P&S camera.

Yeah, it is not easy.

First of all you got to obtain an Open Water Certification to dive.

As close as we almost touched.

The bumpheads are always there. We even woke them from sleep at about 6am Razz

The sharks there are quite big. The shark pics i posted are as big as 2m-4m.

No worries about risk, the sharks are so immune to human present Laughing
