Stingray City (Kapalai–Mabul)
Stingray City is a sandy plateau between Kapalai and Mabul where tyres, concrete blocks and a sunk speedboat act as artificial structures. Blue-spotted and smooth stingrays rest here, eagle rays appear at dusk, and mantis shrimp, frogfish and ghost pipefish live in the debris. It is good for night diving.
