Diver's Notes

Our 2nd trip dive at Sipadan Island. We paid extra for it. For sure we want to go for the best dive site of Sipadan, Barracuda Point.

The surface water is not as rough as day before. The current is quite mild even though we had get closer to our Barracuda check point.

We didn't see many Barracudas nor Jack Fish this round compared to the last dive. Barracudas like to fight current, if the water is too calm then you won't be able to see a spectacular view of schools of Barracudas.

For Barracudas we always have to \"work hard\" if we want to join their parties.
