Mabul (Malay: Pulau Mabul) is a small island near the southeastern coast of Sabah in Malaysia. The island has been a fishing village since the 1970s. After the 1990s, Mabul gained popularity with scuba divers due to its proximity to Sipadan island.[1]
The island is roughly 15 km north of Sipadan, 0.2km2 in size, and around 2–3m above sea level. It is located on the northwest of a reef that is ~2 km long.
Mabul island is administered as a part of the Semporna, Tawau district.
