My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Sipadan/Mabul/Kapalai in April or May. I have two questions:
1. Are conditions likely to be better in one of the months than the other? I have heard conflicting reports on this: I understand it rains a bit less in May but one post suggested visibility might be better in April. Are there any differences in the marine life?
2. Should we try to stay on Mabul or Kapalai? We are divers but also love snorkelling, so any views on which island offers better snorkelling would be much appreciated. We like the idea of the stilts resort on Kapalai but I'm a little concerned that it might get a bit claustrophobic after a few days not having any real land or trees around - would love to hear others' experiences.
Many thanks
