Introduction to Semporna's Island Selection

Speaking of Semporna, we are very familiar with it. This is a diving resort or holiday resort, especially the trailing beach landscape here is dreamy and romantic. So, how to choose so many islands in Semporna? Today, Bian Xiao will give you some advice!

Mabu Island, the cradle of Ba medicine cultivation

Mashima is the largest island in Semporna and also the concentrated residence of the indigenous Bayao people. There are only 2,000 people left in Bayao, who live on the water all the year round and can catch fish with their bare hands at more than ten meters underwater, so they are called sea gypsies.

Most of the seawater in Budao diving base is not deep and the current is not urgent, so it is most suitable for diving. There are many rare marine life here, which is the dream shooting place for marine life photographers and a paradise for macro photography.

Flame octopus, blue-ringed octopus, sharp-finned shrimp tiger and eel are all common, and giant turtles can be seen everywhere.

Ma bu island is the island with the largest number of resorts. The five resorts are located in ShibadanWaterhouse Resort (SWV), MabuBeach Resort (smart), MabuWaterhouse Resort (MWB) and MabuBorneo Resort. They are also the closest islands to Chaidan, so they are especially sought after by photographers and divers.

Capale, the soul of the island of Seine

Pale is located between Shibadan and Mabu Island, 45 minutes by speedboat from Semporna town. Strictly speaking, Kapalai cannot be said to be an island. It is just a sandbar between Sipadan Island and Mabu Island. Kapalai is not only one of the best diving spots in Semporna, but also a world-famous cliff diving sanctuary. The uncanny workmanship of nature created Kapalai, with a shoal of about 3 meters on one side and a submarine cliff of 300 meters on the other. Because it is close to corals and reefs, you can see many fish schools that can only be seen by deep diving.

A resort with the same name has been established on the island. The entire resort * * * has 69 rooms, which are built along both sides of the flower path. Similar to the style of Madai. When the tide ebbs, a small piece of trailing beach will be exposed. At night, you can watch the sunset and the stars at night. The underwater world is just below this "sea palace", where aquatic life is rich and it can be called first-class snorkeling!

However, to live in Kapalai and go to Chaibadan, two conditions must be met. One is to stay for 5 days and 4 nights; 2. Experience in OW diving certificate and 15 bottles of gas.

Diving enthusiast Ma Dajing, an underwater paradise.

Starting from Semporna Pier, it takes 50 minutes by speedboat to reach Madajing. It consists of two islands, one big and one small, which are half a kilometer apart. At low tide, the two islands are connected by a "sand bridge", and the long trailing beach makes this island unforgettable.

Madajing Island is really an island with only one hotel. Diving on vacation can never be wrong, which is why Madajing is included in the welcome list!

Madajing not only has the longest and most beautiful trailing beach in Semporna, but also has a unique underwater boat dive. Its seawater visibility is very high, with more than 1000 species of coral, which attracts many rare fish, such as scorpion fish and green-tailed lip fish. This is an underwater paradise for divers to linger.

There is a sunken ship 25 meters underwater in the center of the motor well. There is an underwater mailbox on the sunken ship. You can prepare postcards in advance, do waterproof work and post letters underwater. The staff of the resort will receive letters regularly to help post them. In short, it is a favorite paradise for underwater photographers, beginners and intermediate divers.

Parent-child rainforest is the first choice, and Bangbang Island has the best reservation.

Bangdao is located in the northeast of Semporna town, near the motor well. It takes 45 minutes to get to the island by speedboat from Semporna Pier. The island's 2.3-kilometer-long coastline, various land animals and plants, tropical rain forests and natural landscapes are the best preserved of all islands.

There are three resorts on the island, the largest of which is Bangbang Island Dragon Ball Resort, which has both water houses and sand houses. It is the most suitable island for parents and children to travel. There is a turtle breeding and protection base on the island, and residents can also participate in the activities of releasing turtles. There are also many island activities on the island, where children can emancipate their nature and play freely.

The other two are Bangbang Island White Pearl and Bangbang Celebes. Bangbang Island is an economic island, and its overall cost performance is relatively high.

Chaidan, a world-class diving sanctuary.

A place with an area of less than 30 mu and can be completed in less than 20 minutes is listed as the "Top Ten Diving Paradise" in the world. This "God Aquarium", which concentrates the essence of the marine world and has millions of aquatic creatures, is a must-see place for every diver in his life.

The vertical cliff is the characteristic of Chai Dan. Snorkeling can see sharks. Divers who want to see large groups of fish and turtles must also come here.

The diving spots here are the famous underwater wonders, wave storms, Oni Tsuka and coral gardens. The most special parrot storm, jack fish storm, Napoleon wrasse and gentian grass can also be seen everywhere; If you are lucky, you won't be surprised to see hammerhead sharks.

There are many lovely creatures, such as ugly Nemo. Of course, these wonders can only be seen by divers with diving licenses!

Note: The environmental protection requirements for 18 years are very strict. There are no resorts on the island, and only 120 people can go to the island every day. At the same time, the government of Chibadan stipulates that you must hold at least OW primary diving license and have 20 diving records before you can apply.

This is Bian Xiao's suggestion. I hope everyone can learn from it when choosing Semporna Island!
