Sharky Water Adventure: Seaventures Sipadan, Malaysia

A hotel… in the middle of the ocean

Here’s a whole new level of adventure hotel, thanks to the Seaventures Rig Resort off the coast of Malaysia. 

At Seaventures, you can live scuba diving, day and night. The hotel/oil rig sits in the middle of the water on top of a diver’s underwater playground of stunning coral reefs, sunken wrecks, and plentiful marine life. 

Malaysia has some of the most beautiful marine life around, and as a guest on the rig, you’ll be smack dab in the middle of it. Just step off the edge of the rig and you’ll quickly find yourself submerged in an aquatic lover’s paradise.

The diving is free and unlimited – yes, you heard that right – so you canexplore the best of each of the Malay islands of Sipadan, Mabul, and Kapalai anytime you want without actually setting foot on any of them.

And these are just the underwater thrills.

Above water, the adventure doesn’t stop. As a guest relaxing on the rig at the full-service Sun Deck bar, you might feel like you struck black gold. Activities include live music, barbeque nights, and satellite TV. There’s plenty to do while you’re regaining your land legs.

Bet you’re just about ready to dive right in. Trust us, the water’s fine.
