First of all, are you a diver? (Do you have a diving license?)
3D2N including the arrival and departure day?
If so, you can only dive on the 2nd day.
Pricing around RM250-300/day for 3 dives in Mabul (Sipadan is more expensive of course).

If u dont have a diving license, i dont think there's any discovery dive for u to join in Sipadan, u can only snorkel there.
For easier and more relaxing dives, u should go Mabul, Sibuan, Mantabuan.

If beaches is your priority and not the coral/marine life, I suggest you skip Sempornas' islands dy...most of the islands are littered wth floating & leftover rubbish from overpopulation of Sea bajaus/sulugs/tasug ppl.

it's an enviromental catastrophic thee compare wt cleaner Trengganu or Pahang islands.

However if you mean crstal clear water & much better than West m'sian islands marine life..yes..those islands probably suit you..but pls swim away ~ 100M from the start of the beach otherwise, 1st part of the beach full of rubbish!!

Nope. Im not a diver. THis is my first time for diving.
I will depart on 16th Feb(morning) and return on 19th Feb 2011(6.45pm).

Which one is recommended? Take diving course RM900(the requiment is quite tough for me - float for 10mins and swiw for 200 m without life jacket) or discovery scuba diving?

Which of these islands has the best diving experience for DSD? Mabul(Kapalai) or Manta Point or Siamil or Sibuan or Boheyan or Mantabuan or Mataking? The diving price is the same for each place mentioned above.
