Help Restore Mabul’s Coral Reefs
Adopt a coral hive today and play a key role in regenerating the reefs around Mabul Island! Your adoption directly supports our reef restoration efforts.
Adopt a Hive
By adopting a fish hive, you’re supporting our coral conservation efforts around Mabul Island. Your contribution helps fund essential materials for the coral nursery and the hives, as well as the time and resources spent maintaining and outplanting the corals. This is vital to restoring damaged reefs and creating healthier marine ecosystems.
As a token of our appreciation, you’ll receive:
A certificate of adoption.
The knowledge that you’ve helped support coral conservation.
Double the impact, as Scuba Junkie will match your adoption fee.

Clean Marine Environment
Get involved and contribute to a cleaner marine environment. We realise that it’s not only a global threat, but also an important local issue. A large amount of waste from the island and mainland Sabah ends up on the beaches and reefs around Mabul.
Join a Beach Clean-up
Every Saturday is dedicated to removing trash from our local beaches. The trash is analysed and the data submitted to global databases like Ocean Conservancy’s Clean Swell App. We also organise extra clean-up days throughout the year in support of international efforts, such as International Coastal Clean-up Day. If you happen to be on Mabul Island during one of our clean-up days, be sure to come and give us a hand – the more people that help, the more trash we can remove – together we are stronger!
Dive into a reef clean-up
Unfortunately, marine debris isn’t just found on our beaches, but on the reefs as well. Due to the currents and tides in the area particular dive sites collect more derbis than others. On top of this there is the debris coming in on currents from the mainland which will also collect in the same area. The Scuba Junkie dive team get out as often as possible to clean up the reefs so that the corals and fish can flourish. If your around Mabul Island on one of our Reef Clean-up days, we encourage you to join us for the underwater clean-up experience.
Sponsor a Clean-up
We have a Sponsor a reef/beach clean initiative that offers our guests the opportunity to fund a reef/beach clean in the future. The money raised will help us to cover the costs of doing reef/beach cleans (biodegradable bags, plastic gloves and fuel) so that we can look to expand this line of work in the future. As little as RM50 can:
Buy much-needed bags for the reef and beach cleans
Buy gloves, knives and scissors for reef and beach clean-ups
Go towards petrol for a reef clean around the islands
