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 - Panglima Reef offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest reef diving.
Panglima Reef, nestled within the Mabul & Kapalai region, offers a straightforward dive on a healthy coral reef. We've seen a good variety of the usual reef fish here, along with the occasional turtle gliding past. It's a relaxed spot, generally calm, making it a solid choice for a casual second dive or for divers getting comfortable in the area.
