Dive-site story
Crocodile Avenue is a premier muck diving site situated on the sandy slope just off Mabul Island. Instead of towering coral walls, this dive focuses entirely on sand, rubble, and patchy sea grass where masters of camouflage thrive. Divers scan the substrate for camouflaged predators and odd macro critters that blend into the silt.
Frequent encounters with flatheads lying completely still on the sandy bottom
Rich macro life featuring seahorses, ghost pipefish, and frogfish
Relaxed shallow profile ideal for slow navigation and macro photography
