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 - West Ridge offers some of Mabul & Kapalai's richest diving.
West Ridge gives you a relaxed drift over sandy slopes, often home to garden eels swaying in the mild current. We’ve spotted plenty of gobies and shrimps here, going about their business. It’s a good spot for macro enthusiasts who enjoy a slower pace and don't mind searching for the smaller stuff. Best suited for divers looking for a chill dive after the stronger currents elsewhere.
