Barracuda Point

On the right morning, Barracuda Point is the single most astonishing fish encounter in Southeast Asia. Chevron barracuda in their thousands coil into a rotating cylinder over the shelf, a structure with apparent architecture that divers can hang beside until air, not interest, runs out. The supporting bill would headline anywhere else: grey reef sharks strafing the wall, whitetips stacked on the sand channel, bumphead parrotfish bulldozing past at dawn, turtles at nuisance density, and jacks mirroring the barracuda's geometry. Current makes the show and demands respect; guides read it, and divers follow their read.

您此行的高光时刻: The barracuda tornado, shark traffic in numbers, dawn bumphead parades

地形地貌: Wall and current-swept shelf with a sandy channel

水流: The point works because water moves; expect brisk drifts and a washing-machine patch where flows meet.

入水方式: Permit-day boats stage from Mabul and Kapalai; entries are timed to the current around the island's northeast corner.

危险因素: Strong, converging currents and a wall that falls past 40 m; stay with the guide's line through the point.

许可证与规定: Dived only on an allocated Sipadan permit day.

保育: Inside Sipadan Island Park: permit-capped numbers, no gloves, no touching, no night diving.

高氧（Nitrox）: 在此值得使用——各潜点深度落在富氧空气（nitrox）能有效延长免减压时间的区间（前提是持有相应认证）。
