Stingray Avenue
Why dive here
With 142+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles and sperm whales - Stingray Avenue offers some of Sipadan's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
Stingray Avenue, true to its name, is where we often spot blue-spotted stingrays resting on the sandy bottom, sometimes half-buried. You’ll find them close to the reef edge, tucked under ledges. It’s a good spot for patient macro photographers or divers who appreciate a quiet drift while scanning for these elusive flat sharks.
