Trip Video - Semporna, June 2023

Were you diving off Mabul?
I loved my time there more than 10 years ago, there is awesome macro off Mabul and Kapali, I also made 3 trips to Sipidan during that trip so that was awesome.

I made a trip to Romblon for Melibe Colmani and Engeli, they have other great macro there too. That was some great macro diving. There is also a site off Banka thats loaded with Colmani.

They are really hard to get good shots of, they always seem to be shallow so black background is hard, if I ever go for them again I will have a stage, all you really need is 2 pieces of black matte plastic that hinge.

I was diving in the straits of Semporna.

Very nice macro and bigger stuff as well...couldn't comment on the video as it's tagged for kids. I take it these are day boat dive sites from Semporna. I've dived Mabul/Kapalai many times and the macro there is good. I'd also like to dive some of the islands just off shore and I take it these were those sites. How long to these sites from Semporna?

I didn’t know tagging for kids disables comments. Just as well…

I think it was about 10 to 15 minutes by boat to dive sites for 3 of the 4 days. The remaining day was spent diving the Buwan Resort house reef (2 dives), which we went to by car as the boat was not available that day.

About half the dives were at dive sites on Bum Bum Island, which is across the straits from Semporna. The rest of the dives were at dive sites on the Semporna side of the straits.

Yes if you tag a YT video as kid friendly, comments are disabled (it's not that nobody likes the video ). I would like to spend a few days diving the Semporna macro sites before or after my next Mabul trip but Semporna itself is such a hole.

Wow, nice video and lots of nice nudies. I have not dived at Sipadan for almost ten years. I think it's time to book a scuba diving trip there. Thanks again.

Semporna is certainly not my favourite town to stay.
