Jetty drop off from the beach. Nice wall dive with schools of batfish, jacks and turtles. Couple of white tip reef sharks in the blue, at 18m is the entrance to turtle cave but we didn't go in, can see some turtle bones though inside with a torch.

16m - 53 min - Dived with Lenny from Scuba Junkie

Wall Between Barracuda Point and South Point. Calm for the first ten mins and then a sudden current that turned into a drift dive out of nowhere. Cold thermoclines. Loads of Green Turtles, and very healthy black coral and fans on the side of the wall. The hard corals had a few pigmy seahorses.

Second time diving here, just as good, few more white tips this time and an even bigger school of barracudas. Really great dive, one of the best I have ever done and lucky to get a permot to dive again

2012-03-18 - South Point, Palau Sipadan Marine Reserve, Malaysia

24m - 45 min - Dived with Sarah from Scuba Junkie

Similiar dive profile to all on Sipidan, furthest from the jetty. Steep wall drop off which goes to 700 metres deep. Loads of turtles, more than I have ever seen maybe 20 +, feeding on the corals. Very inquisitive and not afraid of divers. Bumphead parrot fish chool at the top of the reef.
