Just returned from a diving holiday in Sipadan, Borneo. This place has a awesome geographical layout, with the sea floor 600 meters down the land rises almost vertically to form a 100 acre island with some of the worlds best diving. Anyway I thought I'd share some pictures, most were taken at 15-25m.

G'day, the shrimp looking creature is what the Borneans call a lobster. A fully grown one is about the size of a cacca cray. All the reefs around the area are protected so I didnt get to try one. I dunno what pic 5 is, I think it's some kind of stonefish, their everywhere over there so you've got to be careful. It's funny theres a 3m shark cruising past and no one looks twice but a 20cm trigger fish or something will make them bolt in the other direction!
