Join our 7-night scuba diving adventure in Malaysia, June 6–13, 2027, based on the iconic Seaventures Dive Rig near Sipadan.
Sipadan is considered one of the world’s top dive destinations, famous for its dramatic walls and extraordinary marine life. Expect barracuda tornadoes, huge schools of jackfish and trevally, cruising reef sharks, and an incredible number of green and hawksbill turtles.
Diving around Mabul and Kapalai adds rich macro encounters — frogfish, ghost pipefish, flamboyant cuttlefish, octopus, and vibrant nudibranchs — alongside eagle rays and bumphead parrotfish.
Staying on a converted offshore oil rig puts us right above a thriving house reef, with unlimited day and night diving just steps from your room.
A rare chance to live, dive, and fully immerse yourself in one of the ocean’s most legendary ecosystems.
Where you will stay
We’ll be staying in a one-of-a-kind dive resort built on a converted offshore oil rig, perfectly located between Mabul and Sipadan — surrounded by some of the best diving in the world.
Getting there is simple: fly into Tawau (TWU), enjoy a one-hour transfer to Semporna, then a short boat ride out to the rig.
The stay is full-board with comfortable private rooms, fresh daily meals, snacks, and plenty of space to relax — from sundecks and ocean views to games, movies, and massages. For a little adrenaline, you can even jump or swing straight off the rig into the sea.
