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 - Stingray City offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest diving.
We find Stingray City a solid muck diving spot, right off Mabul. The big draw here, as you'd guess, are the blue-spotted rays, often seen resting on the sandy bottom or cruising over the patches of rubble. It’s a pretty easy dive, generally calm, so it’s good for those looking to practice their macro photography or just enjoy a relaxed bottom time. You’ll also spot plenty of other critters hiding in the sand and small corals if you take your time.
