Wonderful pics bigbadworld, I like the last two..
Very dramatic.., did your strobe fire in those??

Those are all excellent shots!
About those closed resorts. Wasn't it that they closed all Sipadan's resorts because the island got so polluted so bad? Ground water got contaminated and all that. Unfortunately they seem to have gotten around those efforts cutting down number of people staying there. That is if there's an oil rig resort and resorts on other islands. It's a very tricky question since locals propably get good money on tourists coming to dive there but then again too many divers tend to damage those reefs. Not only by kicking it but sewage and all that.

Pictures are still just excellent! Did you use macro lens on those macro shots? For example that swimming pipefish is very well focused!

Nice pictures. Did you dive Sipadan at all, or only Mabul and Kapalai?
