Malaysia to fix up famed dive island

Date: 1/6/2007

Malaysia’s Sipadan island, regarded as one of the world’s top dive sites will get a face lift. The government allocated 1.5 million ringgit (US $428,571) to build new facilities. Sipadan, off the coast of Sabah, is the only oceanic island in Malaysia, rising from a 2,300-foot abyss in the Celebes Sea.
