The Drop Off dive site is a 600 m deep wall! This spot is one of the most popular of Sipadan. It is an excellent spot to see many turtles, whitetip reef sharks, grey sharks, bumphead parrot fish and also hundreds of barracuda swimming all together in a giant tornado. Before closing all the resorts on the island, it was considered to be the best beach dive on the world! A wonderful place also for underwater photography with many cracks along the walls full of tiny invertebrates!
You can dive Drop Off all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Drop Off on the right for the exact location.
