People often ask about the difference between Sipadan and Mabul, when it comes to the diving.

Here are 2 vids that really paint the picture of how the 2 locations differ. They have been put together by Scubazoo who have been filming the area for years. What it does show is how a trip to Sipadan/Mabul can offer more than most destinations in terms of biodiversity and biomass.

Anyway enjoy the vids:

Mabul and Kapalai diving video

Although Sipadan is the place with the bigger reputation, macro enthusiasts often come to Mabul and are more interested in staying there, while others really want to maximise their time in Sipadan.

I would be interested to hear which destination means more to people in the forum.
 
Did Andy shoot those vids? Yeah I would have liked to have had more time to do more muck diving in Mabul it is a really underrated site, everyone is only interested in the hype of Sipadan. Seeing mandarin fish and pygmy seahorse were definitely highlights.
