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 - Soft Coral Garden offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest reef diving.
The Soft Coral Garden off Mabul lives up to its name, a gentle drift through a sloping reef covered in various soft corals. You’ll spot schools of fusiliers, snapper, and the occasional turtle napping amongst the coral bommies. It's a relaxed dive, good for beginners or those looking for an easy second or third tank, with depths staying fairly shallow. Visibility averages 15-20 meters, though it can drop after heavy rain.
