Dive-site story
Located off the edge of Mabul Island in Sabah, Lobster Wall features a vertical drop plunging into sand channels and coral rubble. Undercuts and rocky crevices shelter crustaceans during the day, while sea turtles frequently rest along the coral shelves. Divers drift along the wall investigating macro life clinging to encrusting sponges before ascending toward a shallow reef crest dominated by hard corals.
