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 - Check Point offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest muck diving.
Check Point, near Mabul, makes for a relaxed dive often explored for its macro life. We've regularly found frogfish camouflaged on sponges and a good variety of nudibranchs along the rubble slope. It's a forgiving site with mild currents, good for photographers or those looking to slow down and really observe the smaller creatures. Visibility can be a bit variable, but that's part of the fun in muck diving here.
