The final day is spent viewing the impressive armaments that HMS Repulse was fitted with. At the stern section we have already identified the overturned turret that housed the twin 15” guns, which are unfortunately buried in the sand out of sight. Several of the huge shells also sit nearby. Further forward sit 4” low angle (LA) guns; half buried in the sand.
The 32,000 T vessel now looks at one with itself. The propeller area is covered in fishing nets; the hull encrusted with soft coral. Much of the mighty armaments that sat atop the deck have now fallen to the seabed. It’s still possible to make out their great shapes and also marvel of the magnificence of the vessel that set sail fearlessly from Singapore.
Carve your own slice of paradise by basing your Sipadan and Mabul dives from this idyllic island retreat. There are acres of sandy beach beneath your feet, a thicket of swaying palm trees above your head and access to the water just a short wade away from shore or a back roll away from a dive boat.
