5Sipadan, Malaysia

Sipadan is a very small island in Malaysia in the Celebes Sea and is one of the top dive destinations in the world with more than 3,000 different species of fish and hundreds of corals.

This place is ideal for swimming with the green and hawksbill sea turtles that inhabit the reef all year round. You will be surrounded by them (seeing 20 to 30 per dive). They don’t mind divers, simply eating or coming up to the surface to breathe. Moreover, the water is always warm with a temperature of 26-30°C (79-86°F). Best time: April to November
