Early 2004 Malaysian Authorities ordered the closure of all on the island located dive resorts as a protective measure to ensure the environmental well-being of this tiny 12ha island. 
All Sipadan’s resorts were removed to the nearby islands of Mabul and Kapalai Islands, where dive resorts are rebuilding here. Free of dive operators, the island is now maintained by Sabah Parks. Best place to stay are the diving resorts at Mabul and Kapalai Island or on board of a liveaboard vessel.
