DIVE
KAPALAI RESORT
MALAYSIA
WITH REEFCOMBER TOURS

Updated JANUARY 2005  (Rates valid from 28 April 2005 to 27 April 2006)

Kapalai Dive Resort is in fact a water village. It is built on a sand bar only 15 minutes from Sipadan Island. The sand bar was many years ago the island of Kapalai. It is on what is known as the Ligitan Reefs, a very extensive stretch bordering the deep and vast Celebes Seas. Innovative in concept - a chain of roomy and well-equipped chalets with private bathrooms linked by long wooden walkways, centered around the open restaurant cum sundeck and the customary dive center - the Kapalai Dive Resort has been built on a shallow but surprisingly wide sandbank.

Diving :

The underwater scene is completely different compared to Sipadan. It is a macroworld of great interest, featuring rare subjects ranging from mandarin fish, dragonets, fire gobies, partner & sleeper gobies, wasp or leaf fish, gurnards, the strange "little dragonfish" or seamoth, the tame crocodile fish, giant frogfish of different colors, eels, rays and much much more.
This is a truly magnificent macroworld where interesting and rare subjects need to be located by the discerning diver, where you can see things others cannot. It is a place where your skills at spotting small and well camouflaged oddities are to be well rewarded.
A divers paradise!!!! 
Kapalai Resort is only 15 minutes away from Sipadan by boat.  We will conduct the 2 morning dives around Sipadan and back to Kapalai for lunch. The 3rd afternoon dive will be a choice of diving around Kapalai or Mabul.

Accommodation :

Above water, it is a totally different world. All structures are erected on water and the guest is able to really enjoy the serenity and peace of the unique resort anytime of the day, especially early morning and sunset.
Even from above the water, the guest is able to observe the antics of the squids, or the never ending raids of the needlefish and halfbeaks into shoals of silversides and anchovies. For those who just want to relax and rest between the dives may take advantage of the cleverly thought-out balconies of the bungalows, which offer the total privacy so much sought out by the lovers of sunbathing.
A truly unique place and unforgettable experience. We offer our well-appointed twin sharing chalets with extra-hot baths and western sundeck.
Meals are served in the terraced, open central structure, while a big western sundeck allows divers to have an evening drink or an after-dive chat with a background of fabulous tropical sunsets.

NO FLIES, NO MOSQUITOES ... FRESH AIR, FRESH WATER
