Sipadan, the divers' paradise that Abu Sayyaff invaded

Diving in Sipadan is on top of many divers' wish list and I was so close that I decide to go there just to scuba dive. What an underwater paradise! Sipadan Island itself is closed to tourism now, to protect fragile ecosystems and the marine species from too many divers. Dive centres are located in Mabul instead, but Sipadan is still remembered as the island that was attacked by the terrorist group Abu Sayyaff years ago. travel article »

Koh Tao, Thailand

If you enjoy white sand beaches with crystal clear water; if you like relaxed atmospheres; if you're easy going and prefer a simple hut to a luxury resort; if you fancy being with other travellers for a while; if you like beach bars; if you're looking for exciting night life but not as extremely wild as other islands of southern Thailand; and if you want to learn how to dive at the same time, you should give Koh Tao a try. travel guide »
