Mabul and Kapalai - Mabul & Kapalai

What a great combination it is to add the macro wonders of Mabul and Kapalai to the big stuff of Sipadan! Diving in at its core, Mabul and Kapalai are all about the small, the strange, and the camouflaged. You’ll spend your dives finning slowly over sandy flats and shallow reefs, eyes peeled for ribbon eels poking from the substrate or a well-hidden frogfish. We’ve spotted seahorses clinging to bits of seagrass and, if you time it right at dusk, mandarinfish putting on their mating display. It’s a photographer's dream, suiting divers who love to linger and really observe the smaller inhabitants of the reef.
