Though physically close to Sipadan Island, the diving at Mabul is completely different. Mabul is a wonderland of strange exotic marine creatures. You can see dozens of species of Nudibranchs, Shrimps, Crabs, Eels and Fishes and a lot of other tiny rare creatures that can be found in the sand, rubble and fringing coral reef near the island. This is sometimes called "Muck Diving".

Don't expect to see all the "Big Stuff" that can be found at Sipadan, but if fantastic colourful creatures and Macro Photography are your style, you'll love Mabul. In addition to the dive sites surrounding Mabul, you also have access to the prolific macro dive sites at Kapalai.
