Marine life notes, photography tips and the odd resort curiosity from Sipadan, Mabul and the Derawan Islands. Planning a trip? Our Dive Guides cover that.
This is where the smaller stories live: how to tell a hawksbill from a loggerhead, why a decommissioned oil platform became one of the more unusual dive resorts in Southeast Asia, what six years out of the water does to a photographer who finally gets back in off Mabul. Expect marine life notes, camera technique, diver skills, and the occasional site fact that outlasts a dinner conversation.
