SIPADAN TURTLE TOMB
SIPADAN TURTLE TOMB
This is the famous Sipadan Turtle Tomb which is located near Sipadan island in Malaysia in the restricted area of the National park. Many people think that the reason why so many turtles die inside is that they can not find the way out when the tide rises. Turtle is not a fish and it needs air to breathe. But local people, including they guide who took me to this cave, believe that there is another mystic reason why turtles come to spend the last hours of their lives inside this cave.
There is also a short video, that I made inside this cave, you can scroll down to view it. Depth 7 - 20 meters.
