Karang Banda
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 - Karang Banda offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest reef diving.
Karang Banda offers a decent drift over a sloping coral reef. We typically see quite a few green turtles here, often just cruising by in the current. It’s a good spot for some relaxed diving, especially when the currents are mild, and you can just let the water do the work. This site is a solid option for anyone looking for an easy dive with a good chance of seeing turtles.
