Eel Garden is one of the best diving sites around Mabul Island. There is a sandy bottom going down to 20 m. It is really great for muck diving for underwater macro photography. There are many garden eels, coming out of the seabed. On this dive site you can also see many frogfishes of different species and different colors. There are also giant mantis shrimp, blue ribbon eels, batfish and many other things to see! Also a great spot also for a night dive!

This location is a Reef. Location based around one or many Rocks.

Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isApril to May. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Eel Garden on the right for the exact location.
