CE9 Sipadan Liveaboard

Set in the legendary waters around Sipadan, Malaysia, CE9 Sipadan Liveaboard is a PADI dive operation built for divers who want to explore one of the region's most celebrated marine areas. With two PADI instructors on hand and four languages spoken — English, Mandarin, Malay, and Chinese — it welcomes everyone from first-timers to seasoned divers, with daily access to its own house reef.

Courses and Diving

The centre runs the full PADI training pathway, from Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications through to a range of specialty courses and PADI First Aid (EFR). An onsite classroom, air fills, and scuba equipment rental make it easy to learn or simply gear up and go.

From here, divers reach the renowned sites of Sipadan, Mabul, and Kapalai, where coral walls and deep drop-offs teem with schooling barracuda, green and hawksbill turtles, whitetip and grey reef sharks, manta rays, and countless tropical fish.

With a waterfront location, onsite accommodation, air conditioning, and food and drinks, it suits divers wanting an immersive base close to the water.
