Many rare marine life, such as seahorses, flying gurnards, flamboyant cutterfish, jawfish, dragonets and sand divers, can be found at the dive sites around the island. Nearby the island is the Sabah's Turtle Sanctuary, which located on the Pulau Selingan. It is not suprise to occasionally spot a hawksbill or green turtle during one of your dives.
