Barracuda point is quite simply one of the top 5 dive sites of the world, making it the most popular dive spot in Sipadan. There is a huge shoal of thousands of barracudas often making a tornado and darkening the sun! A must do for any underwater photographer! You can also see bumphead parrotfish, dozens of turtles and reef sharks patrolling the area. Sometimes there is also hammerhead sharks, so keep looking to the blue! The site is composed by a steep wall going down to 22 m deep often with strong currents. After your nice drift you finish your dive in the shallow in the coral garden ;-) Enjoy this incredible dive site!

Barracuda Point is sometimes classified as a Drift dive. This location is a Reef. This is great place for spotting and diving with Sharks! Ready to swim around this Wall structure?

You can dive Barracuda Point all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Barracuda Point on the right for the exact location.
