Kota Kinabalu: . The Semporna Professional Divers Association said its members are unhappy with manager and custodian Sabah Parks for what it deemed to be arbitrary decisions last August. The group said that in the last two years, the 176 permits were shared by 24 operators but that the management committee abruptly decided to add 13 more companies to conduct dives around the underwater paradise.“This would obviously only lead to a bad impact of marine life in Sipadan.

Others complain of a lack of transparency in the decision making, claiming that some dive outfits have operated for years without being granted permits to dive Sipadan while others have not even set up operations and were given a share of permits. “There needs to be some standard or criteria, or else it just looks political. Anyone with the right connections can get it,” a Sipadan dive operator said.
