We had a great stay with Scuba Junkie! Everything was super easy, from the diving to the accommodations to the transportation, they really have their act together.
The Dive Lodge in Semporna is very basic, but the rooms were nice and clean and the staff...More

Unfortunately, Scuba Junkie is not the best option to provide a Sipadan permit for walk ins because they ARE a popular dive shop *however* they do not have more permits than other dive operators. Hence, the number of divers:permit ratio is not the best - I booked my dives with them 2 months in advance.
From talking with locals, these dive operators were able to provide Sipadan diving permits for walk ins:
- Seaventures Dive Rig (needs a minimum number of days diving with them)
- Borneo Speedy Dive
Hope this helps.
