    @Joelfriend mabul (on the island) is polluted as inhabitants stay on the island without waste management. So sad. Stateless as well. But since sipadan has no resort, you hv to stay on mabul. For me top diving spots in sabah are: 1. Layang - layang atoll 2. Sipadan - big marine life 3. Mabul. (Macro diving eg nudi branch) 4. Kapalai

    I went there 3 weeks ago and got super sick. I think I got a bacteria from the food or water (even If I did not drink tap water but was probably the ice cubes.) But the stomach cramps were unbearable. Almost made the plane do an emergency landing on the way back home.

    Can your camera backpack be used as a personal item? I'm wanting to get it but I never check a bag so I always carry on my backpack and I'm wondering if your camera bag could also be carried on or if the airline will give me problems. Would appreciate any input you may have so so much! PS love your videos!
