Serudong 6 - Mabul & Kapalai
Serudong 6 is essentially a shallow barge wreck, sitting at a max depth of 2 metres. It’s hardly a deep exploration, but that’s its charm. We love it for macro photography, especially with the sun high overhead, lighting up the nooks and crannies. Look closely and you'll spot everything from juvenile batfish sheltering in the shadows to ornate ghost pipefish camouflaged amongst the rust. It's a great spot for newer divers getting comfortable around structures or anyone keen on a slow, detailed dive.
