I Just Gotta Dive This Place! At my dive club's monthly meeting our speaker gave a video and PowerPoint presentation on his trip to Sabah, the Malaysian portion of the island of Borneo. SPECTACULAR! I definitely have to get over there and dive. There's alot to see and do on the land side too. Above and below sea level, tremendous bio-diversity. I’d seen other places like Sipadan [an island off Sabah] 45 years ago but now no more. Now we have found again an untouched piece of art.. a jewel. --Jacques Cousteau Just one small problem though. A couple of years ago Muslim extremists attacked Sipadan Island and took 21 dive tourists and resort staff hostage. In fact, the Cyber Diver News Network has issued a travel alert for this area. Damn! I knew it was too good to be true. File under The Undersea World. 12:30:43 AM
