For this dive trip to Sipadan, we stayed at these two places:
Sipadan Inn
A few months old. Converted from old shophouse building. Surprisingly well appointed with modern amenities. We stayed in a Superior Seaview room for RM168 per night.
Scuba Junkie Bacpackers
Decided to try out their VIP Room. Not too bad. Ensuite bath, TV, wardrobe, etc. Just for RM40 per night inc breakfast if you dive with them as well.

Thanks for posting the great pics! I too dove Sipadan in early September. Maybe we crossed paths underwater 
It was my first trip to Sipadan, and I have to say it was absolutely amazing! I can't wait to go back.
Happy Diving, Eric

Just got back from there. I think diving there for 6 days in a row and seeing the same thing over and over got a little boring.
I think I could take a little of that boredom.
Next time you feel that 6 days at Sipadan is too much I am quite prepared to come and help you out, I will take alternate days maybe, or every second dive. Just to relieve you off the stess of all those glorious turtles, sharks, and schools of fish forming ever changing patterns.

I've booked another flight ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau this coming January 2008. Since we're going to have 2 full day of diving, we're thinking of giving Sipadan a miss, or maybe not.
January probably has cooler water temperature, hence the chances to see big stuff could be higher.
