Comments	Sipadan is amazing even though　visibility is bad in September.turtle white tip, turtle white tip, sometimes schooling jack and barracuda, Unfortunately not so many buffalo fish. The house reef at Mabul Resort is one of the best house reef. East to dive from stairs. We can see turtles, cuttlefish spawning, schooling trumpet fish under the stairs. We could have dived without DM as s check dive since he is very busy with handling novice divers. We dived Sipadan two days in five dive days. Almost no lottery system to Sipadan in Sep. We skipped the third visit to Sipadan, since we realized Sea Venture just in front of the resort is better than Sipadan except barracuda point. We could encounter frog fish, huge moray, schooling rainbow runner and Queensland grouper I’ve been trying to video shoot. Speaking of security it was the level 3 danger(from1 to 4). It means the suspension of traveling recommended according to website of Japanese ministry of foreign affaires However it looked safe there is a Malaysian Police Station in Mabul and some soldiers in Sipadan. One complain is that so many smoking staff litter cigarette butts.
