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 - Pandanan House reef offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest reef diving.
The Pandanan House reef, right off Mabul, makes for a solid, easy dive. We’ve found it’s a great spot to get wet after arriving, especially if you’ve been out of the water for a bit. The reef gently slopes down to around 19 meters, an ideal depth for beginners or those wanting a relaxed hour underwater. We typically see a good mix of smaller reef fish here, like parrotfish grazing the corals and the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice. It’s not a dramatic wall dive, but it consistently delivers a pleasant, unhurried experience.
