93: One of the MOST unique SCUBA DIVE sites we have visited!

Man-made underwater structures strategically placed on the house reef of Kapalai Island, Malaysia, created an incredible artificial home for marine life. Scuba diving around Kapalai Island in Malaysia is magical! Though it's the little sibling to the more famous Mabul Island, it certainly can boast about it's underwater inhabitants. In February 2020, we were fortunate enough to have one full day diving on Kapalai and we absolutely LOVED it. Kapalai was an island above the water line over 200 years ago, but now is a sand bar. The island was eroded away over time and the only resort has figured out a way to prop up houses on stilts on the spit of sand that remains. The diving was truly outstanding here and we were shocked by the size and effectiveness of the man-made artificial reef on Kapalai House Reef; the animal life was astounding! It's well worth a visit and more days diving at Kapalai. We did get to see the mating ritual of 5 stonefish while at Kapalai and look forward to sharing that video footage separately! Enjoy our time above and below the water in beautiful Kapalai! #borneo #mabul #mabulisland #kapalai #sipidan #scubadiving NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
