Why dive here
With 119+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, giant moray eels, grey reef sharks, pygmy seahorses and sea turtles - Chanel offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest diving.
Chanel, between Mabul and Kapalai, is a drift dive that often delivers. We've often found ourselves gliding past schools of barracuda and trevally, especially in the mornings before the boat traffic picks up. The currents here can be brisk, so it’s best for those comfortable with a bit of movement. If you're looking for pelagics on the fly, this site is a solid bet.
