Traveling, isn't it just to leave behind a youthful face? Compared to listening and watching, I prefer to go and feel the world. When everything around me becomes numb from repetition, take a step forward, feel the vast sea and the salty air, and realize that life takes a very long time. In February, I embarked on a trip to Malaysia, only to pursue the blue paradise in my heart. Heading to the island, just to fulfill my long-awaited diving dream. As the world's number one diving spot, I naturally won't miss Sipadan. A five-meter beach extends into the sea, with a deep blue ocean dropping vertically six to seven hundred meters behind it. Sipadan Island, the world's top five cliff diving destination, stands quietly on the sea surface. The underwater world of Sipadan is as beautiful as a movie, with crystal clear water. As you dive, thousands of fish swim past you, and you can feel the colors of the sea change from shallow to deep. Various shapes of corals, anemones, and huge schools of fish made up of thousands of white fish and other fish fill your eyes. I wish I could capture every frame of what I see in my memory. Not only that, here you have the chance to see the Jackfish Storm and Sea Wolf Storm that you usually enjoy in travel magazines and documentaries. The elegant fusion of marine life and the blue sea is truly worthy of the title "God's Aquarium" and is definitely a must-visit destination in your lifetime. In addition, there is a water-dwelling ethnic group called the Bao Yao tribe living in the area. They are a Southeast Asian ethnic group living in the waters between the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and they live on boats throughout their lives. They mainly make a living by diving and fishing, and are often referred to as "sea gypsies", the last surviving oceanic nomadic tribe. If we happen to meet on a boat, it would be especially romantic. Accommodation recommendation: Mabudao Resort Borneo Divers Mabul Resort Dive in Sipadan, stay on Mabul Island just 15 minutes away by boat. This is a pure beach house resort, nestled under a coconut grove. The resort is well-equipped, with not only private and highly confidential guest rooms, but also fresh water showers, three meals a day, tea and snacks, and diving travel services. Live in a comfortable vacation home, immersed between coconut groves and the blue sea, like a paradise on earth. After check-in, there is no need to worry about what to eat every day, the resort's self-service three meals, fruits, vegetables, seafood, and meat are perfectly matched. If you don't want to go to the sea on weekdays, it is quite comfortable to soak in the swimming pool under the coconut trees. At night, you can also lie on the terrace of the room to watch the stars, or lie on the beach to listen to the waves and feel the night of the island~

The iconic Sipadan Island is a home to many species of the marine life. Renown among the most beautiful diving spots, Sipadan is considered as one of those places where the population of turtles is quite densely concentrated. Located along the east coast of the state of Sabah, Malaysia, Sipadan island arose from the corals which are grown beautifully on the top of an extinct volcano, in the Celebes Sea. The nearest airport from the Sipadan Island is the Tawau Airport, located in Sabah, Malaysia.

Semporna is located in eastern Malaysia, on the east coast of Sabah, a county in the province of Tawau in Sabah. Once a small fishing village, it has developed into a world-famous diving and island resort due to its high-quality marine tourism resources. I have heard friends mention Semporna more than once, it is an almost obsessive intoxication and obsession. Now, I am lying on my bed, thinking of the sea, I can't help but be intoxicated. In Spartan and Malay, Semporna means "perfect". The town is surrounded by sea water, and Semporna and its affiliated islands are like an island of dreams in the real world. Pure white sand beaches, coconut trees and the calm, turquoise waters of the Sulawesi Sea glides through the colorful reefs.

From the far and near Mabul Island, the Spartan Platform Extreme Dive Resort next to it is becoming more and more clear, and the excitement in the heart is inevitable. Get to the bottom of the platform, how to face such a high platform? Only through the simple electric lifting platform, the lifting platform does not have any protective devices, because they also jump directly from this diving, so it is impossible to install protective devices. As the elevator slowly rose, we finally came to the legendary Spartan Platform Extreme Dive Resort. The staff standing on both sides of the uniform costumes gave us a warm welcome, helped with the luggage and asked us to have lunch first. The resort fee includes three meals a day, afternoon tea and so on. Start at 8:00 every day, lunch starts at 12 o'clock, dinner starts at 7 o'clock, and afternoon tea is at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Drinks, milk, mineral water, and pudding are all available 24 hours a day. In the hot summer, how can there be no ice cream, there is also ice cream supply here, directly to the front desk, then the money will be recorded in the account, leaving it together to settle, it is super convenient. The first floor of the platform is mainly a public area, which is mainly divided into diving equipment area, cafeteria and leisure area, and office.

Sipadan is known as the world's "seashore diving", but also the world's top five cliff diving - 5 meters of shoal is a vertical deep blue and deep 600 to 700 meters deep. It is due to volcanic movements, and the submarine land mass is formed by erecting from the sea depth of 2000 meters, and thus has unique conditions. Like Mecca in the eyes of pilgrims, Sabah's Sipadan is like a paradise in the eyes of divers. In order to protect the island, the government implements a permit system on the island. There are only 120 places on the island every day, and 90% of the places are in the hands of various resorts. The Spartan Platform Extreme Dive Resort has 10 places every day. Go diving in Spartan. If you want to go to the island, you need to report the basic information in advance, and you need to register information after going to the island.

The water house we live in is called the Sipadan Water House, and the water house is charged by the head. Passing through the wooden path leading to the coast, the floating foot building is a bit awkward, the air is filled with white sand and the barbecue smoke. The children usually play barefoot and play in the fine sand of the white sand. The women lean on their own floating feet to chat or look after the children. Some people simply live directly on the ship floating on the sea, taking the boat as their home, and the boat top is covered with a colorful laundry. There are also holiday homes on the island. The most important function of these holiday homes is not accommodation, but to lead the tourists to dive. The most pleasant time of the day is on the lounge chairs of the water house. Look at the sky and the sky to see the sun rising and falling, watching the sea snakes, starfish, crabs, and colorful fish free to watch the tide rise and fall, as if people and The sea has been connected, giving me a lounge chair and I thought it was a paradise.
