The Long and Worthwhile Trip into the Middle of Nowhere - Sipadan, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia The Travel Addict

Sipadan is the only oceanic island belonging to Malaysia and was formed by living corals growing on top of an extinct volcano.
Not one person I told that I was going to Sipadan had ever heard of the place. This is not surprising as it located in such a remote location and its significance to the general public is absolutely nothing.
It is widely regarded as one of the best scuba diving locations in the world and a permit has to be granted by the Malaysian government. Humans are only allowed on 100 yards of its beach, as to not upset the local residents, the various wildlife.
The highlight was being surrounded by 1000's of Jackfish at 20 feet below the surface. We got along famously.
The diving is challenging in this remote location and one has to be aware of not making any mistakes, as medical help is too far away to make any difference.
Hear about my escapades around Sipadan, plus a 2 day stay in Singapore and an overnight stay at Seoul Airport.
