A 45 minute trip from Semporna by speedboat, Kapalai island is one of the many beautiful diving havens in this part of the world. However, Kapalai is truly unique because it is not quite an ‘island’.


The 40 chalets are built on high wooden stilts in the middle of the ocean. Visitors can enjoy the sights of marine life in action as they stroll along the boardwalk, a sturdy construction that connects the various sections of the floating resort. The resort has 40 chalets, equipped with basic amenities, including tea and coffee making facilities. 


You will never have to gripe about having a less than desirable view.  You have a breathtaking view of the Celebes Sea no matter where you turn! The restaurant is a wooden deck, where diners can eat indoors or al fresco. There’s even a viewing area in the middle of the restaurant which allows you to see the myriad of marine life passing below.


The sundeck, a popular favourite, is a great place to enjoy your novel, work on a tan or indulge in an afternoon siesta. The Dive Centre provides diving, snorkelling and kayaking gear for rent. Can’t dive but would love to? No problem! The centre offers a variety of PADI courses, including Open Water and Introduction to Night Diving. After enjoying your underwater paradise, explore other facilities offered by the resort including the souvenir shop, games room and broadband access.

Pulau Mabul


Untuk post yang kedua, saya akan ceritakan mengenai sebuah pulau lain yang agak menarik di negeri Sabah iaitu Pulau Mabul. 

Pulau Mabul terletak di pesisir pantai tenggara negeri Sabah, Malaysia. Pulau ini terkenal kerana dekat dengan Pulau Sipadan.

Pulau ini kecil dan melengkung dan terdapat banyak batu karang pelbagai jenis. Batu karang menjadi tumpuan spesies ikan marin kerana banyaknya makanan plankton. Dasarnya tidak dalam, sesuai dengan kejadiannya sebagai pentas benua di Laut Sulawesi. 
Kedalaman sekitar 25 hingga 30 meter sesuai untuk aktiviti 'scuba diving'. Banyak sekali hidupan eksotik seperti sotong kurita, cephalopods, udang geragau, ketam, rumpai laut dan lain-lain.
