Dive into the World’s First & Only Dive Rig: Seaventures Dive Rig
Nestled just off Mabul Island, and a gateway to the legendary Sipadan, Seaventures Dive Rig offers an unparalleled experience. It’s not just a dive resort – it’s a converted oil jack‑up rig, standing 24 m above the Celebes Sea, transformed into a full‑service PADI 5-Star IDC resort

Why Seaventures Is a Diver’s Dream
Unique Location: Dive directly from the rig via elevator-style platform – no boat rides needed. The house reef beneath hosts vibrant marine life including batfish, turtles, and macro critters
Unlimited Dives: Guests enjoy as many free dives on the house reef as they like, in addition to trips to Sipadan, Mabul, and Kapalai
Comprehensive Facilities: With 40 cabins (standard, deluxe, dorm-style), ensuite bathrooms, dining area, bar, games room, massage, and sun deck, it operates like a 5-star resort at sea
Adventure & Comfort Combined: Jump off the rig, swing into the sea, or relax under star‑filled skies. On‑site amenities include Wi‑Fi, films, and even a massage room .
Training Offered Onboard
Seaventures is a premier PADI dive centre, offering a range of courses from Open Water to Tec and Rig Diver Specialty—the only place in the world to train specifically for oil‑rig diving. Nitrox fills, camera room, wet room, and training facilities are available for every level
Practical Details That Matter
