If you had gone a little deeper (maybe you did?), you would have found a chamber with many passages coming in to it, at the very top of this chamber is a "shelf" that is very hard to see. If you were fortunate enough to notice it you would have found the skeleton of a Marlin...did you come across it by chance? The photos we have of it aren't very good.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to go back to Sipadan Island.
 
Thanks! We did go into a smaller chamber that had shelf like spaces and a little air pocket at the top. I remember our guide mentioned the marlin during our briefing, but I didn't see it during the dive. From what I remember, it was placed there by divers.
