Diving in Malaysia > Pulau Kapalai > Mandarin Valley

Mandarin Valley is located at the northeastern tip of Kapalai. Here you will notice a diverse population of corals supporting many species of colorful coral-dwelling fish. A gentle coral slope decending to around 20m, watch out for the rare and small species that are commonly found here; frogfish, pipefish and stonefish. If you venture deeper, you may see groups of cuttlefish with their pulsating colour changes and iridescent flashes. Do not miss out the vibrant Mandarin dragonets which can be easily found flitting around the spines of sea urchins.
