Scuba Diving in
Pulau Kapalai

Between Sipadan and Mabul Island lies a sand bar known many years ago as Pulau Kapalai. Unfortunately, erosion has taken its toll and now the sand bar sits on top of the reef known as the Ligitan Reefs, a vary extensive stretch bordering the deep and vast Celebes Sea. Sipadan-Kapalai Resort is actually a water village style resort built above the water and guest are able to observe the antics of squids and needlefish from their chalet balcony.

The underwater scene together with nearby Mabul offers some of the best 'muck-diving' in the world. Rare subjects such as flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus, sea moths and mating mandarin fish are seen on a regular basis. Giant frogfish, ribbon eels, harlequin ghost pipefish and crab-eye gobies are seen on many on the dive sites.

The jetty itself has plenty to offer including leaf scorpion fish, pink-eye gobies, ammonium shrimps and the comical antics of the mantis shrimp. Other frequently seen creatures in Kapalai such as the crocodile fish, lionfish and scorpion fish are almost ignored as being too common!
