Diving Sipadan with Nitrox

[philmackenzie]

Hi,

I'll be diving in Sipadan in August. I'm planning to stay in Semporna and use the companies there that offer boat trips to the island. Can anyone recommend a good operator who can provide nitrox (course tuition and / or nitrox fills)?

If nobody at Semporna can do this, is it best to look for deals to the Mabul / Kalapai resorts in Semporna or on arrival in Tawau?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil,

I would recommend staying on Mabul and save yourself the 2 hours of sometimes bumpy ride on the speedboats. I stayed at Smarts on Mabul last month and was very happy with everything. Most of the resorts on Mabul are equiped for nitrox. The company I went with is based in Kuala Lumpur and I got a great deal from them - better than direct booking. If you would like their contact, pm me.
