Notes
Diving at Sipadan Island
If you want to dive at Sipadan Island, there is an additional fee for the boat transfers between Mataking Island and Sipadan Island.
The transfer fee ranges from MYR 370 to MYR 1,340 per person excluding SST, depending on the number of guests on the boat. Entry permits to Sipadan Island is subject to approval by Sabah Parks. Diving Sipadan requires a minimum Advanced Open Water certification; Mataking's own dive sites are open to Open Water divers.
Entry Permits to Sipadan Island
Sipadan permits are not included in the package price. The Malaysian Government has imposed a levy charge per person per day for divers who are diving at Sipadan Island as well as for non-divers and children, and this is paid separately as an additional charge. Permits are subject to availability and daily quotas set by Sabah Parks, so we recommend booking your Sipadan permit as early as possible.

Single travellers must add single supplement, an additional 30% of the dive package. If there are no other guests to meet the minimum transfer requirement, an additional RM 250 per coach way and RM 918 per boat way will be levied.
