Such an exhilarating experience when this large school of Bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) swam towards me! I took this video in Sipadan, in a dive site called Midreef.

Did you know that the Bumphead parrotfish can grow to lengths of 1.5 m (4.9 ft) and weigh up to 75 kg (165 lb)? This amazing species perform a very important function in their grazing – they are the gardeners of the reef, removing algae that compete with corals. This prevents the corals from being overgrown and becoming smothered. They spent much of the day nibbling away at the reef. The rock and coral skeleton ingested is ground up through their teeth and by molar-like teeth in their throats. The indigestible material is then defecated “pooped” out as smooth white sand. Yes, sand!

Drop off, Sipadan - Not your average dive site!

A dive here starts with exploring the entrance of Turtle Cave, a thrilling experience! Turn ▶️ at the exit and continue along the wall, which drops straight down to 600m!

Marvel at the stunning wall & topography, but don't forget to look up - you might find yourself in the middle of hundreds of bumphead parrotfish munching away at the reef! If you are lucky you may finish the dive surrounded by the famous barracuda tornado 🌪️

Drop off is a dive site which gets us excited every single time - no matter how many times we've been before! 💙

Have you been?

Did you know legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau referred to Sipadan as an “untouched piece of art.”?

Sipadan is one of the world’s top dive sites due to its tornadoing barracuda, giant schools of sharks, bumphead parrotfish, jackfish and many more.
