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 - Lobster lairs offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest diving.
Lobster Lairs lives up to its name, a good spot for finding small, camouflaged lobsters tucked into crevices. It's a muck diving site, so expect sandy bottoms with scattered coral bommies and debris. We’ve found pygmy seahorses here too, if you have a good guide and a sharp eye. This site is best for macro photographers and divers who enjoy searching for the small stuff.
