You will really enjoy Sepilok Lodge. It is gorgeous! They have wonderful orchid gardens, but watch out for the leeches. I fed one really well and bled like a stuck pig when I removed it. The orangs were a great experience. Go for a night walk there too.
You will, no doubt, make two dives in Sipidan in the morning, followed by a local dive in the afternoon. At Borneo Divers, where I stayed, it was a little difficult to get included in one of the night dives. I was the only night diver in my group, and you had to ask permission to join other groups. Otherwise, the nicest resort on Mabul. Moderately priced and seemed much friendlier that SMART Resort. We went there for a couple of drinks and got the major cold shoulder. Borneo Divers is not as old and the landscaping is not as mature/pretty. However, the employees are very well treated by the owners and, as a result, their happiness is very evident.
