This unique and new dive destination is built on a sand bar only 15 minutes from Sipadan Island. The sand bar was many years ago the island of Kapalai, but erosion has taken its toll on what was once a truly beautiful island.

The accommodation is totally over water and the village sits on what is known as the Ligitan Reefs, a very extensive stretch bordering the deep and vast Sulawesi Sea. The underwater scene is completely different compared to Sipadan’s.

It is a macroworld of great interest featuring rare subjects ranging from dragonets, fire gobies, partner & sleeper gobies, wasp or leaf fish, gurnards, the strange ‘little dragonfish’ or seamoth, the tame crocodile fish, giant frogfish of different colours, eels, rays, jaw fish, pygmy seahorses and even the elusive blue ringed octopus can be found here…just to name a few.

Best Time to Travel : April through October is the best time to visit. The rainy season is November to March. The water temperature ranges from 26ºC to 30ºC year round.
