Scuba Diving Malaysia-Pulau Mabul
Mabul
Island
is
located some 25 minutes north of
Sipadan
Island, this island offers a different world of diving
opportunities from most other diving locations. Here is a macro
diving paradise where you will be able to find rare macro world
inhabitants hard to find at other dive sites.
Among the
international diving community, the island's reputation as one of
the world's best muck diving site is no secret. Muck diving in
Mabul, a term used to describe limited visibility dives at
shallow sites with usually sandy bottoms, is one of diving's new
rages. It focuses on encounters with unusual little critters
popularly known as macro-life. Muck diving is a world away from
steep wall and coral reefs, with their almost limitless visibility
and easy-to-spot reef and pelagic life. In other words, muck diving
offers you the opportunity to flirt with the more bizarre and
unusual life marine life to be found.
Mabul
diving gives macro photographers some great opportunities to capture
some extremely rare ecological species which have carved a niche for
themselves in the underwater world around here. Look out for species
like multicolored nudibranches, ghost pipefish, devil scorpionfish,
stonefish, mantis shrimps, mandarin fish, ribbon eels, snake eels,
frogfish, seahorses and crocodile fish, all of which make these
sites their home.
