Semporna Marine Park encompasses the islands of Mabul, Kapalai and Sipadan. Between them you couldn't get more diverse diving. Sipadan is Malaysia's only oceanic island, shaped by volcanic activity aeons ago. It rises 700 metres from the sea floor attracting a rich diversity of marine life. Mabul by contrast has a shallow reef profile with sandy bottom and patches of sea grass. The coral reefs at first glance do not look very picturesque and inviting. However it is the diversity of macro animals inhabiting the coral rubble and sea grass the puts Mabul on the diving map.
