Le bateau de croisière plongée de 29m M/V Celebes Explorer est le seul navire proposant toute l'année des itinéraires sur les plus beaux sites des Sipadan, en Malaisie. Les Sipadan abritent des milliers d'espèces de flore et de faune, beaucoup n'existant qu'à cet endroit. Le Celebes Explorer dispose de 8 cabines basiques équipées de salles de bains privées et de garde-robes spacieuses. Les passagers pourront se relaxer au salon avec mini-bar et sur le vaste sundeck partiellement couvert, aménagé de chaises en bois, tables et matelas de plage.

La nourriture servie à bord est un mélanges d'influences malaises et chinoises, présentée en buffet. Le Celebes Explorer propose jusqu'à 4 plongées par jour. Les plongées sont généralement de tranquilles dérivantes et de superbes plongées sur tombants. Un safari plongée aux Sipadan à bord du Celebes Explorer vous donnera accès aux sites de Malaisie uniquement ouverts aux croisières. Considérée comme l'une des plus belles régions au monde pour la plongée, avec des jardins de coraux par centaine, des récifs en pente douce et des paysages sous-marins époustouflants, les plongeurs seront comblés par la quantité de poissons et la beauté des décors.

Wonderful diving and superb crew with friendly, uplifting attitude

The food was plentiful and delicious with lots of seafood. The guide was good at spotting critters in the ocean and was a good photographer when he took pictures of me while diving. All the staff were very friendly and most learned your name. The head person, Tom, was a delight with a funny personality and wonderful attitude. He made everything such fun! Cabin 3 still has some funny smells however. Grab one of the others instead!

A great week of Sipadan daily

The boat is currently under maintenance, so we've been arranged into hotel accommodation with daily dive trip to Sipadan. Overall it's still convenient and comfort. A week of 3 dives daily in Sipadan has been gorgeous.

celebes explorer under repair

1) the experience in south point is magnificent where v see a school of giant humphead fish passed by, high visibiliy, no other divers 2) in my 4 days daily trip to sipadan, 3 days are grouped with other day trip divers which limits our dives to 3 only. in view of the charge, we are expecting 4 dives each on the 2nd and 3rd day

because celebes explorer under repair, therefore accepted the alternate arrangement of daily trip to sipadan and stay in hotel in semporna

Boot 2 sterren, duiken 5 sterren!

Het belangrijkste is het duiken, je bent constant bij Sipadan waar je anders maar 1 dag duikt. Nadeel is dat de boot oud is en denk niet heel goed voor het milieu. Crew is vriendelijk, eten is erg lekker. De duikinstructies kunnen beter. Er was geen briefing en ik vind dat in ieder geval duidelijk moet zijn voor je duikt wie je buddy is en hoe diep we gaan. Een minimum van 50 duiken is echt een vereiste!! Mede omdat je echt moet weten wat je doet en je duikguide niet perse op alles let.

Celebes headed for Hades

The happy helpful and plentiful crew helped with this trip. The Celebes Explorer is a tired and sad boat. Cabins are in poor condition but clean enough... if one ignores the mould and water soaked woodwork. Warm water in shower adequate. Power failure in cabins a daily reality.. A new boat is currently being built with an expected delivery date of late this year. Good home style cooking for meals but this is not your soup, selection of mains and dessert liveaboard. Three mains a greens and fruit (melon or watermelon) dishes on offer each meal. Plenty of it and toast and jam on permanent offer. I drink my tea and coffee black which was just as well. Dive guide knew the sites well and good weather and mild currents made for easy diving. No real need to dive deep as most of the interesting stuff is 15m up.

Loads of turtles, reasonable viz, nice schools of Barra and bumpheads

Do your research, Know what you are getting into, be very cautious and speak up if you feel unsafe.

I would add one more highlight: and that, is of course the people you meet on board, we had a nice time. I chose to take a main deck room, with single occupancy and paid the 50% surcharge. At 63 I prefer not to share. Now, I had read all of the reviews and they are quite correct; I was in room 1, top deck with a 2 ft by 3 ft window not quite a double bed. The house keeping staff did a great job on getting the room ready for me. Absolutely no complaints or concerns with the staff. (actually, not at any time during the trip). My toilet did not work without filling a bucket of water and using this as your flush. My shower did not work when others were using the showers below. But none of this mattered, I knew what I was buying and chose to do it and a happy that I did. Others, below my deck, experienced similar issues that you have already read in past reviews. Now: here are my real concerns. 1) This is one of the very worst places in the world to dive! The coral is mostly dead; Which means that the fish and aquatic animals are disappearing. This, very large reef is dying and someone is selling it as if it was pristine. The waters are so polluted that you can see debris, over every surface, all of the time. There are so many other majestic places in the world to dive, I suggest you look else where. 2) Should you choose to book with the Celebes Explorer, and you are given Raf as your dive master, my advise to you is to immediately ask for a replacement. I have been diving since 2009 and have logged over 100 dives and his behavior is unsafe. He does not look to ensure you are all accounted for at all times. In fact he, in a 45 minute dive will look to see who is there 2 to, maybe, 3 times. He does not ask what your O2 level is. He dives erratically both vertically and horizontally, meaning, if you do not have a dive computer you can not dive with any level of comfort. He constantly plays with shells, small fish and then moves off. There was one time when the three of us, divers, had to work our tails off, against the current to try to get to him as he was oblivious to us and how the current was pulling us away as he had his silver rod in the ground and was not "currenting" along with us. He said to stay together and he was useless. I chose not to dive 2 dives as I felt he was unsafe. We spoke of this to each other and agreed that we would look out for each other as he was not. Ok, Ok, Ok! Some of you are saying, "then why did you not say something to someone?" and rightly so. I guess we felt we could cope. I do regret not getting two of my dives in, but this was a risk I could not take. Lee Koran

1) Swimming with the schools of fish off of Barracuda reef and with the schools of Barracuda at the end of this dive. The number of sharks and green turtles.2) The, on-board, staff were amazing.

Great liveaboard Experience, made possible with the great crew

For me this was my first ever liveaboard experience, and I must say I'm hungry for the next one. The Celebes Explorer, although a bit old and run down, is more than certainly made up for by the liveliness and hospitality of both the boat crew and Divemaster Basher. He was knowledgeable about the dive spots we visited everyday and made sure we were able to best experience the various sights around Sipadan island. Three square meals a day were provided, no complaints and it was a nice touch having fresh cut fruit provided with every meal. Be prepared to ratchet down your plates when eating during choppy seas! Also, bring your hard drive with movies on it to share with the crew, as they have a penchant for good old action movies whilst eating meals. Other than that, a very good experience aboard the boat and would love to return again. Also, email communication with the Dive operator was superb, Tania was able to respond in a timely matter to whatever queries I had about the trip. Highly recommended!
