Advice for diving Barracuda Point in Malaysia

Barracuda Point is regularly ranked amongst the top 5 dive sites in the world.

This outstanding dive site has a great barracuda shoal (thousands) often seen in a tornado-like formation.

You will see dozens of turtles in one dive, schools of whitetip sharks, batfish, jacks and barracuda. And everything from nudibranchs to hammerhead sharks.

Topography:

This dive starts off descending deep along the sheer wall, looking out in the blue for pelagics. Eventually, you head towards the south at about 22m deep. There the current will bring you to Barracuda Point where there is a school of thousands of barracuda. You then finish the dive in the shallows of the Coral Garden.

Depth: 40+ metres (131+ feet)

Visibility: 30 metres (100 feet)

Location: North East of Sipadan Island.
