Dive Review of
Seaventures in
Malaysia/Sipadan

KK, Great Barrier Reef, Western Australia, Mataking, Pulau Redang, Port
Phillip Bay

Dive Conditions

On Sipadan dives - Depth limits were loosely enforced, Time limit of 45
minutes + 3 minute safety stop.

On house reef - no limit, only no decompression.

On Mabul/Kapali - no real limits, but around 50-60 minutes  

No rinse tank on boat, but then again we were never more than 20-30 minutes
from the rig. Separate rinse tank on the rig. There was no specific photo
table or room, but your palatial accommodation had a small desk (which was
transformed into a workbench for me).  

Overall Rating

This was our first time at Sipadan, but wow factor aside, if serious diving
is your business then you can't go past Seaventures. 

It's a converted accommodation rig which after a number of incarnations
ended up moored off Mabul and being used as a dive platform.

The rooms vary, some are dry and nice, others are a bit damp and in need of
repair - but after 5+ dives per day, the only time you are in your room is
to download a card or sleep.

The food, compared to other places we have just stayed in Malaysia, is very
nice - if you're a sweet tooth you might feel a bit under catered for.

All the staff are great. Some of the diving from other divers was not, and
my only complaint would be that the divemasters could definitely be
pointing out some of the bad techniques and behavior.

The house reef is just fantastic for photographers, as you can spend as
long as you want (or as your long suffering buddy wants).

We stayed for 9 days initially, and then extended for another 4. We would
definitely go back, and highly recommend it.
