Seaventures Platform is a unique way to dive Sipadan and Mabul. This converted oil rig sits just off the northern shore from Mabul Island and is the budget option with the cheapest prices in the area. Where else can you kit up in a spacious dive station and then take an external elevator down to the waiting dive boat or the macro-paradise beneath the platform?
Rooms: 23
Diving in: Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai
Dive type: Boat dives and diving under the platform
Divers: Max. 50

 |
Day and night dives under the resort at Seaventure Platform are unlimited and free of charge. The dive staff at Seaventures can find hidden critters that no one else knows about. Let them show you a Rainbow Nation of frogfish, pipefish and nudibranchs.
Evenings are spent enjoying the best sunsets around from the sundeck, using the free internet service to check up on the dog back home, or having a drink or two with your fellow travellers, discussing the amazing sites of Sipadan.

| rooms, beds, bathrooms, views... |
There are 23 rooms in total; 21 standard and 2 family. The standard rooms on Seaventures are nothing fancy, but all have air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and most of them have a great seaview.
All the rooms have:
- Air-conditioning and ceiling fan
- Private shower with hot and cold
- Bedside reading lights
- Desk and chair
- Cabinet
- Wall mirror
- Mineral water
The 2 family rooms are much larger, including a lounge area in addition to the double bed, great for couples and worth the extra cost.

| diving details... |
A normal day's diving includes 3 dives a day. When park guest permit numbers allow, this will be 2 Sipadan boat dives per day followed by an afternoon dive in Mabul or Kapalai. Alternatively it will be a 3 dive day around Mabul or Kapalai.
Gear up and ride the elevator down to the dive boat or to the waters edge and stride off - now there's a novel entry!
There are 2 10-metre fibreglass dive boats, for 14 divers maximum per boat. 2 divemasters are provided for a full boat.
Unlimited diving under the platform is also included.
