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 - Mid Reef offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest reef diving.
Mid Reef is a straightforward dive off Mabul, mostly sand with scattered coral bommies. You'll find a good collection of macro life here if you go slow – we’ve often spotted nudibranchs, gobies, and occasionally a cuttlefish tucked away. It's a calmer spot, good for a relaxed second dive or for divers getting comfortable with their buoyancy.
