Located only about 15 minutes by speedboat from the famous Sipadan
Island, Mabul Island has gained its own recognition as one of the best
muck-diving (a term used to describe limited visibility dives at shallow
sites with usually sandy bottoms) sites in the world.
Mabul Island is a small oval shaped island fringed by sandy beaches and
perched on the northwest corner of a larger 200-hectare reef. The reef
is on the edge of the continental shelf and the seabed surrounding the
reef slopes out to 25–30m deep.
Mabul Island is also renowned for its amazing array of macrolife, making
it an underwater photographer’s dream location to capture some of the
rarest ecological species on film. Flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed
octopus, spike-fin gobies, frogfish and moray eels are just some of the
spectacular critters you will encounter beneath the waters of Mabul
Island. Although all the excitement is underwater, you can always set
your scuba gear aside for a day to laze on Mabul’s soft sand to work on
your tan
