 Just to the south of the Drop Off entrance, at 20m depth is the entrance to the Turtle Cavern. The cavern, which is actually a series of interconnected caves, is sometimes refered to as the turtle tomb because of the number turtles that have got lost inside and drowned.
Their skeletons make an eerie sight. On the entrance to the cavern skull and cross bones signs warn of the danger to divers.
The caverns can silt up quickly to reduce visibility and only those properly trained should consider entering. Several off the Sipadan resorts run short courses to guide divers into the caverns.
