About this experience

Diving & Snorkeling in Sabang is a guided underwater activity based on Weh Island, off the northern tip of Sumatra. The dive sites around Sabang feature volcanic reefs, fringing coral gardens, and clear waters with visibility often exceeding 20 metres. Divers and snorkelers access sites like Rubiah Island and Seulako Island, where shallow slopes and drop-offs support reef fish, turtles, and occasional reef sharks.

What to expect

Boat trips depart from Sabang harbour and reach dive sites within 10 to 30 minutes, with two-tank dives typically lasting 3 to 4 hours including surface intervals.
Snorkelers stay in shallow zones (2 to 6 metres deep) around Rubiah Island, where hard corals and anemonefish are visible without scuba gear.
Certified divers can explore the Seulako Island wall, which drops from 5 to 30 metres, with gorgonian fans and schools of fusiliers.
Equipment rental (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins) is included in the standard package, along with a dive guide and weights.
The activity suits beginner divers and snorkelers, as most sites have mild currents and calm conditions from March to October.
Surface intervals include a stop at a sandy beach on Rubiah Island, where you can rest and observe sea turtles from the shore.
