Mabul Island first became popular due to its close proximity to
Sipadan Island. However in the last few years, it has gained its own recognition
as one of the best “muck diving” sites in the world. Mabul Island is a small oval
shaped island surrounded by sandy beaches and perched on the northwest corner of
a larger 200 hectare reef. The reef is on the edge of the continental shelf and
the seabed surrounding the reef slopes out to between 25 to 40m deep.
Mabul is arguably one of the richest single destinations for exotic small marine
life anywhere in the world. Flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus, mimic octopus
and bobtail squids are just a few of the numerous types of cephalopods to be found
on Mabul’s reef. The sight of harlequin shrimp feeding on sea stars and boxer crabs
waving their tiny anemone pom-poms are just a small example of the endless species
of crustaceans. Many types of gobies can be found including the spike-fin goby,
black sail-fin goby and metallic shrimp goby. Frogfish are everywhere. Giant, painted
and clown frogfish are all regularly seen. Moray eels and snake eels of many types
can be seen along with almost the whole scorpionfish family. It would be quicker
to to list the species not found at Mabul-crazy critters are in abundance at this
magical macro site!
Fascinating Mabul Island onland
The footpath around the island takes you right through a local village.
Around 2 000 people call this village, made up entirely of wooden huts
built on stilts, home. The villagers are Bajau, a term used to group a
number of small tribes and ethnicities found in Malaysia, Indonesia
and the Philippines.
The Bajau are a people that have lived in the region for
hundreds of years. They are often called Sea Gypsies, because of their
nomadic lifestyle that is intertwined with the sea from birth till
death.
Island village life is as laid back as it gets, but not
untouched by the presence of tourists. Handmade necklaces, earrings and
seashells are on display in huts that have been converted into small
stores. Children play in the sand around the huts and eagerly pose and
smile for every passing camera.
