Seaventures Dive Rig

Thinking to choose which resort or dive centre to dive with? Look no further. How often do you get to live on an oil rig? Other than that, their service is top notch with a fun filled group of dive professionals. Their house reef is also a popular dive site amongst other dive centres. So what more are you waiting for?! Keep diving, scuba is life.

Our group of eight people holidayed on the Seaventure Dive Rig. Five of us dived while three snorkelled off the rig each day. All of us had a terrific time and agreed that the sites we visited were amazing. The staff and the dive instructors were wonderful. I was especially thankful for the chef who took my dietary needs into consideration and made special meals for me each day. The meals were delicious and hit the spot.

The dive staff was really helpful, taking care of our diving equipments very well. The view from the rig is amazing as it is high up (access is via a lift). There is wifi everywhere. The food was plentiful and delicious. I saw the barracuda tornado in Sipadan and dozens of turtles. Under the rig is an excellent dive site for macro photography also there can be a bit of current at times on the surface.

I live in Singapore, close to some great dive sites in nearby Indonesia, but my experience at Sipadan has surpassed all of them. What’s unique about this location is the Seaventure Dive Rig which adds an interesting element to the holiday. This is not a 5-star hotel stay, but for those who prefer fun over luxury, it’s a perfect choice.We did a four day, three night dive holiday on the rig and would have had no problem staying longer. The crew were all super nice and went out of their way to see that our needs were taken care of. They fed us delicious food which was exactly what we needed to keep our energy up for the 3+ dives we did each day. Yes, 3 dives off the rig with the option of as many more buddy dives around it as we liked. When we’d had enough diving for the day, we lounged on the sun deck or checked out the games room for something fun to do. The best part of our stay was the dive we did around the rig at night rig. It felt like our own personal marine park. I doubt we’ll ever have the chance to do a solo night dive again. Seaventure offers PADI certification so we did the open water advanced course. Helmi, our instructor, made sure we had an amazing experience. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

The diving was spectacular and I saw a lot of underwater creatures. The rig was comfortable and I enjoyed just chilling on the deck. I watched the sunset from the rooftop every night and later, went down into the games room to watch a movie. I haven’t got the words to describe just how wonderful the staff were. They were friendly, took care of all their guests and really made me feel at home. They kept us all laughing while being very professional at the same time. I was sorry when it was time to leave. I will miss them!
