Si Amil East Point

Si Amil sees a fraction of Sipadan's traffic and is run as a full-day trip with three dives. Conditions are more exposed than Mabul's house reefs, and the pelagic sightings operators mention are occasional rather than expected.

Unique features

  • Rare macro reported here — rhinopias, Ambon scorpionfish, sea moths, blue-ringed octopus
  • Occasional schooling devil rays in the deeper channels; a day-trip alternative when no Sipadan permit is available
