COME ON,friends....wanna has a visit to a beautiful island....here's it~kepalai Island,Sabah,MALAYSIA!Here we have a look for it!

Above water, it is a totally different world. All structures are erected on water and the guest is able to really enjoy the serenity and peace of the unique resort anytime of the day, especially early morning and sunset.Even from above the water, the guest is able to observe the antics of the squids, or the never ending raids of the needlefish and halfbeaks into shoals of silversides and anchovies. For those who just want to relax and rest between the dives may take advantage cause it's truly unique place and unforgettable experience. We can have an evening drink or an after-dive chat with a background of fabulous tropical sunsets.
HERE NO FLIES, NO MOSQUITOES ...IT'S FRESH AIR, FRESH WATER!

Between Sipadan and Mabul Island lies a sandbar that sits on the reef known as the Ligitan Reefs. The reef, a very extensive stretch bordering the deep and vast Celebes Sea, is the foundation of a best-kept secret dive destination called the Kapalai Island.
With all the wonderful muck diving opportunities available in the South Pacific region, Kapalai is not just another place to do it. Kapalai Dive Resort is in fact a water village. It is built on a sand bar only 15 minutes from Sipadan Island. The sand bar was many years ago the island of Kapalai. It is on what is known as the Ligitan Reefs, a very extensive stretch bordering the deep and vast Celebes Seas. Innovative in concept - a chain of roomy and well-equipped chalets with private bathrooms linked by long wooden walkways, centered around the open restaurant cum sundeck and the customary dive center - the Kapalai Dive Resort has been built on a shallow but surprisingly wide sandbank.It is where discerning divers come face to face with amazing marine creatures and skills at spotting minute and cleverly-camouflaged oddities are well rewarded. Rare subjects such as cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus, sea moths and mating mandarinfish are seen on a regular basis.
Other frequently sighted creatures are the crocodilefish, lionfish and scorpionfish. Giant frogfish, ribbon eels, harlequin ghost pipefish and crab-eye gobies are seen on many of the dive sites.
The jetty dive itself has plenty to offer including leaf scorpionfish, pink-eye gobies, ambonian shrimps and the comical antics of the mantis shrimp.
The sole resort occupying the island is the Sipadan-Kapalai Resort. Protruding above the water, it is elegantly built in a traditional water village style.
At one end of the resort boasts a rather long sandbar of blindingly white sand where one can sunbathe in total recluse during low-tides.
The resort serves great food at the open terrace and offers twin-sharing wooden chalets with en-suite baths. Guests are also able to observe the antics of squids and needlefish swimming below from the roomy balconies.
Although Kapalai is just a few minutes away by boat from Sipadan, one can expect a completely contrastable dive. Diving in Kapalai can be considered ideal for the beginners, yet diversely exciting to satisfy the most experienced diver.
