I was in Sipadan in 2008, I didn't see any mantas or hammers, I'm starting to understand why!
This remains in my top 5 dive destinations and these photos make me cold in the back.
We wonder what the military are used for on the island, who hug as soon as a little diver jumps from the boat ... when I asked them, they replied that they were protecting turtles from tourists (because we don't talk about Jolo there)! And we talk even less about poachers.
Ziad, I just sent an email too. However the link did not work. I put the text back.
Fight for rays and sharks!

Dear Sir or Madam,
Malasia, especially around Sipadan, I am writing to you. This fauna belongs to the human patrimony and represents a great deal of tourists visiting Malaysia: https://scuba-people.com/profiles/blogs/de-mauvaises-niouses-de?xg_source=activity
We sincerely need your help and we can not foresee any further promotion of this disaster. Sipadan in particular and mother nature in general.
Yours sincerely,
Hello Madam Hello sir,
We are sending this email to urge you to immediately ban fishing for sharks and manta rays, which are a world heritage, particularly around the island of Sipadan: https://scuba-people.com/profiles/blogs/de-mauvaises-niouses-de?xg_source=activity
We need your help and your intervention and we can not conceive the promotion of Malaysia without immediate effect and intervention of your authorities to stop this slaughter.
Receive our warmest greetings,
