Seaventures Dive Rig - A Diver’s Hideaway

Semporna Malaysia Southeast Asia
IndustrialNatureRemote

This hotel is a diver’s dream. It’s for serious divers who want to explore the oceanic depths of the Coral Triangle off the Coast of Mabul Island. The hotel is in a converted oil platform that was designed for deep-sea oil drilling.

Now, instead of being about man controlling the environment, it’s about men exploring the environment, which is the fundamental difference between the good and dark sides of the Force.

Day and night dives are available, and all trips are included in the price.

You can enjoy 360-degree views from the platform 10 meters above sea level when you're not diving. In the evening, there is an extensive menu and even the odd performance by a touring band.

There is a sun deck for relaxing after a long day's diving or making new friends with fellow diving enthusiasts.

There is also a games room, TV/DVD lounge, and conference room. Your room has air conditioning, and wifi is available.
