Dive-site story
Situated off the southern flank of Mabul Island in Sabah, Ray Point features a gentle coral slope that transitions into a sandy plateau scattered with bommies. Diver traffic here drifts alongside the reef margin, searching the sand flats and coral heads for resting elasmobranchs and cryptic critters. Currents can pick up along the outer edge, sweeping divers gently across patches of hard corals and soft sponges.
