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 - Eel Garden offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest reef diving.
Eel Garden lives up to its name, a gently sloping sandy bottom peppered with garden eels swaying in unison. It’s a great spot for macro enthusiasts and photographers looking for something a bit different from the usual reef action. Keep an eye out for pipefish and small gobies tucked into the sand too. If you like slow, deliberate dives, this one’s for you.
