Boheyan Island, one of the last islands before reaching the Philippine border from Semporna and with 1h15min even further out than Sipadan offers some great visibility and marine life that can easily compare with Sipadan. Turtles are very common here; stingrays at certain points are plentiful, massive schools of red snapper, large grouper, giant trevally and eagle rays and manta rays can be seen. Different kinds of sharks wait at the deep end of the wall but often come up to shallower depth to look for prey. In the shallows there are plenty of rare fish like ghostpipe fish, frogfish and blue ribbon eel. We also found several pigmy seahorses at the deeper parts of the slopes. Experienced divers often rate Boheyan better than Sipadan due to its visibility and great diversity of marine life.
