Located just 15 minutes from the world-famous Sipadan,and less than an hour from Semporna,the island of Mabul was initially regarded as merely a place to stay for diver wanting to explore Sipadan.Closer inspection of the muck diving sites on Mabul itself revealed it to be one of the richest destinations in the world for the weird and wonderful species of the macro marine environment.Kapalai offers much the same standard of muck diving as nearby Mabul.Its beautifully designed wooden dive resort,built like a water village over the sea offer views of marine life such as turtles,lion fish and stingrays from its walkways and chalet verandahs.
