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 - Pigmy rock offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest diving.
Pigmy Rock, just off Mabul, lives up to its name. It’s a small, solitary rock outcrop, best explored slowly for the tiny stuff. We’ve spotted frogfish camouflaged on the rock face and nudibranchs grazing the algae. It’s a site for macro enthusiasts who enjoy patient searching, rather than big coral landscapes.
