6 min readSep 11, 2023
Sipadan is a marvelous island located in the Celebes sea off the east coast of Sabah, North Borneo and has one of the worlds richest marine habitats. It is the only oceanic island in Malaysia, rising 600 meters above the seabed.
This unique and one-of-a-kind ecosystem houses several hundred species of fish and corals that encapsulate the tiny island (13.5 ha) which was formed by living corals on what used to be a volcano a very long time ago.
