About this dive site

This dive site features a dramatic vertical wall that drops off into the deep blue, characteristic of Sipadan Island. It is named for the numerous lobsters found tucked into the many crevices and small caves along the wall face. Divers can also frequently encounter green sea turtles resting on ledges and whitetip reef sharks patrolling the area.
