Spending 4 days at Seaventures was quite a splurge for us, since it costed us a month budget. But we thought it well spend: we got 3 days of Sipadan and enjoyed it very much. The rooms are small but very comfortable and the food is good (desserts are great). They provide coffee, tea, juice and water throughout the day,... More

Managing is certainly the weak point of this interesting project. For the price you pay, you just expect something better. Not so clean, the rig itself should be renovated, the dive master ( except Airen who is gorgeous) are pretty irresponsible. The house reef left me a bad impression. But after all, the diving experience there was still amazing, thanx... More

Best choice for Sipadan. The diving was excellent, staff extremely friendly and we met great people on the platform. We were abel to dive Sipadan 3 out of 4 days, hard to beat that.

Seaventures is a professional diving resort that offers excellent diving with good divemasters and instructors. It was also great fun to stay at the rig. I travelled here alone, but it was social, and easy to get to know people on the rig. The food was delicious, the houseband played a couple of nights and made a great party, and... More

I was at the rig with the reviewer below and totally agree with most of his points... We were aware of all the transport arrangements so booked our flights based around this. We were there for 3 days and dived Sipadan on both of our full days. The rig was relatively quiet during our stay. Other reviewers have said the... More

I stayed at Seaventures from April 19 to 24, 2012. My biggest fear going to Sipadan was going all the way there to dive but not being able to get a Sipadan dive pass. Conclusion Although I was afraid of staying in the confined spaces of a rig off shore for six days, I chose Seaventures after doing much research.... More

The rig has space for about 50 guests and is about 5 minutes off Mabul. While it's not a luxury spot, it exceeded expectations in terms of room comforts - definitely the good end of 'basic.' The chef is a hidden gem. Staff are really friendly. Most people seem to stay about 3-4 days, which leads to a high turnover... More

Booked a 4D3N stay with Seaventures - ex-oil rig converted resort. Service was awesome - we just need to land ourselves in Tawau and everything will be taken care of thereafter. Picked us up from airport - sent us to Semporna jetty to catch the boat to Seaventures (700m away from Mabul Island) - Meals & Accomodation - unlimited house... More

Engaged with Seaventures Dive for a 4d 3n diving package at Sipadan in Apr 2012 (RM 2600 all-inclusive) The resort is not fully booked during our stay, thus we were given the permission to dive at Sipadan Island for 3 days (3 dives per day), instead of just 1 day as guaranteed by all the resort in Sipadan. We were... More
