“Het eten was overvloedig en heerlijk met veel zeevruchten. ”
De 29 meter lange duikboot, de M/V Celebes Explorer, is het enige vaartuig dat gedurende het hele jaar als duikcruise naar de beste duikspots in Sipadan, Maleisië vaart. Sipadan is het onderkomen van duizenden soort flora en fauna die enkel in dit gebied te vinden zijn. De Celebes Explorer heeft 8 basis hutten aan boord die zijn uitgerust met een eigen badkamer en ruime kleerkast. Gasten kunnen ontspannen in de lounge met mini-bar en op het ruime, gedeeltelijk overdekte zonnedek waar houten stoelen, tafels en ligbedden aanwezig zijn.
Het eten aan boord is een variatie van Maleisische en Chinese gerechten die geserveerd worden in buffet stijl. Aan boord van de MV Celebes Explorer kun je als gast tot 4 duiken per dag maken. Over het algemeen zijn dit ontspannen driftduiken en muurduiken. Een duiksafari als deze is de beste manier om de Maleisische duikgebieden als Sipadan te bezoeken. In dit gebied, dat bekend staat als een van de beste duikgebieden ter wereld, kun je honderden koraaltuinen, mooie riffen en onvergetelijke landschappen vinden, waarbij duikers gegarandeerd duizenden soorten gekleurde vissen en koraal zullen zien.
Een duikvakantie in Maleisië met de Celebes Explorer is een fantastisch avontuur. Reserveer je plek vandaag nog.

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.

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!

Celebes Live Aboard
Trip was a good value, you get to dive Sipadan four times most every day. Resorts in the area will likely let you go every third day or so. The boat needed some maintenance work, though, the generator cut out several times during the week I was on board. Boat crew and divemasters did a good job. One thing to note, though, is that night diving is not permitted at present due to curfew. (The itinerary I received said night dives at Mabul would be included, but this is not the case at the moment...)

AWESOME dive guide but the livaboard boat the celebes was falling apart!
we were SO dissappointed to find out that there was to be NO NIGHT DIVES allowed AT ALL in the last two years, you would think that they would say something about this on ANY website, but i guess because of the kidnappings, then it would just scare tourists off. but if you are into ANY night diving, we wish we could get a comp trip because of THAT idssappointtment. alone as the site still promises night dives. even though the boat was belching rust chunks out of the smokestack, and it was puking gobs of oil which caused oil slicks larger than the exxon valdez spill which we had to keep outrunning, we were told that there was a new one being built. ready in two years! the generators were turned off about 3 times a day and you had to re start the air con every time. the dive runabout boat was in the same condition of being ready to take a dive. or a dump....but the guides were awesome and the boatman was great and professional. the condition and maintenance was deplorable. we had to walk in a pool of piss water everytime we went to the bathroom because the ship was overweighted on one side where it did not drain. but if you want to dive dive dive the sipadan sites, you are in for a treat we went every morning to pick up the flag that announces we HAVE A PERMIT TO DIVE 3-4 DIVES PER DAY!!! the food!!! it always smelled really great, but then they added too much sauce to drown out the garlic flavor that you could smell in the beginning stages... the cleavered chicken left a lot to be desired. the chicken ALWAYS almost was cleavered and then battered or put in the soup and if the back ribs excite you then you got no bones to pick! they end up in your mouth and throat. if they coul dONLY stop cooking the food until it is burned to non recognition we would have been happier. but we love to dive so all the rest is piddly. this is NOT a comfort boat! but the staff is very freindly and obliging! and raf , the dive guide was super at finding all sorts of

You get to dive Sipadan everyday, everything else is the cost for doing that
The reason you chose this boat is you want to dive Sipadan everyday. If you stay other places you only get to dive there occasionally, but you would also be staying in a much nicer place. The boat is ok, but needs maintenance in some places. The crew generally acts like there is no competition, which there is not. The military on board watch movies and fish all day and the food, while good, is pretty much the same everyday. The boat also never left Mabul island, so you are taking the same small boats to Sipadan and eating on the island the same as every other resort. Basically any advantage of a livaboard has been negated by either the limitations or policies of the boat. If you are looking to dive Sipadan everyday chose this boat, just know the price is a substandard boat with crew that occasionally appears to care about you as a customer.

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

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.
