2nd visit to Mabul-Sipadan Jan 2010

We visited Mabul & Sipadan Island last month and it was really wonderful trip even thought it was just 2 days 2 nights of staying there. This is our 2nd times of visiting this Island. We were lucky this time because we got the chanced to visit Sipadan Island which required permit to enter. Only 150 visitors can get permit from Sabah Park to enter this Island. Even sometimes it difficult to get it from them because the popularity of this Island of diving spot.
As this time, not so many tourist visited this island because of the alert published by the American embassy.

Well I can see that there are nothing to worried. Its worth if you enjoy the marine life especially divers.
For me and my husband we did snorkeling and we saw a few turtles in the water and also beautiful fishes.
My kids were also saw a few turtle on the surface and that was really great experience for them to see real turtle in the sea. While we were on the boat, they keep on looking at the water to search for turtle.

So here are some photos I would like to share
