About this site
Spotted Ray Channel lies in the waters around Sipadan and Kapalai off the coast of Sabah, on the island of Borneo in Malaysia. This part of the Celebes Sea is known for its sand channels and reef flats between the coral atolls, reached by boat from the Semporna peninsula. Divers exploring this channel have reported ghost pipefish and nudibranchs tucked along the sand and reef edges.
