Turtle Cave is a very special dive site! It is one of the highlights of diving Sipadan island and is something unique. The entrance of the cave is located about 18 m deep. You enter the cave for about 21 m then you arrive in the second chamber. From there, there is another tunnel connecting with the dive site Turtle Tomb. Along the cave there are several turtle skeletons, making it an eerie sight deep within the reef, with a story behind it. Be aware that this dive site is only for very experienced divers with special equipment and an experienced guide!
You can dive Turtle Cavern all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Turtle Cavern on the right for the exact location.
