Pulau Sipadan--some say the best dive site in the world. The island rises 2,000 feet vertically out of the floor of the Celebes Sea. Sinking down the dropoff is certainly a humbling experience.

Amazing place! (Sorry no underwater pictures yet. My CD with the photos is on a slow cargo boat back to the States)
