It's the jewel in the crown. A true island paradise with an underwater playground. Sipadan Island was nothing short of stunning. Difficult to get to, under military control, but oh, so worth the effort!

These underwater photos were taken with a GOTEC CMS-6000. It was an online cheapie at less than $80 delivered. It seemed to do just fine at capturing these fish pictures.

Nemo and his friends are very good at hiding! Can you find him?

The fish don't seem bothered at all by the predators in the water.

Sipadan was truly amazing. In just three days, we took over 1,000 photos. I won't bore you by showing them all, but the following pics show just some of the beautiful scenery. This destination has to be on any snorkeler / diver's wish list.
