Sipadan Tsunami

Posted on February 2nd, 2006.

Was Sipadan Island damaged during the tragic tsunami of 2004? Definitely not - the Malaysian Borneo island reknown as one of the world’s best dive sites was far away from the tsunami’s effects

I’ve had a few queries about whether Sipadan was damaged by the tsunami. The answer is - not at all. The earthquake which caused the tsunami happened in the Andaman Sea, on the west coast of Indonesia, Thailand. Burma and Malaysia - Sipadan is located on the east coast of Borneo, several countries and a different ocean away - Sipadan lies in the Pacific Ocean, while the tsunami’s impact was felt only across the Indian Ocean.
