Raja Ampat - Turtle rescue (2023)
While filming a sea turtle Edwin discovered that the turtle has a hook in his mouth with a fishing line attached to it which was wrapped around the turtles fin. The turtle was not able to swim and probably also not able to eat anymore because it could hardly open his mouth. With help of a knife Edwin was able to cut the line and release the fin of the turtle.

BrotherDive 2013 - Malaysia (Borneo / Sipadan)
Mabul, just a twenty minute boat ride from Sipadan
The triangle between Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines is one of the most bio-diverse marine habitats in the world. Strong ocean currents, deep sea trenches and sea mounts, combined with active volcanic islands have created a complex oceanographic environment that is paradise for divers. The beauty of this region lies in it’s diversity.
The highlight of this trip is the world-famous Sipadan Island, home to thousands of turtles, schooling sharks, swirling barracuda, and awe-inspiring coral walls dropping more than 600m straight down to the sea floor.
- Divecenter: Borneo divers
- Number of dives: 20
Kapalai is the third point of the famous ‘Golden Triangle’, with Sipadan and Mabul being the other two. Kapalai is not a true island but a sandbar on which they build a resort on. Kapalai is, like Mabul, also a 20 minutes boatride from Sipadan.
While the resort was originally built for it’s proximity to world-famous Sipadan, we also discovered the paradise that awaited just beneath the resort.
