Plunge into the protected waters of Rubiah Sea Garden, one of Southeast Asia's most pristine coral ecosystems. A private guided dive with a certified local dive master reveals neon reef walls, sea turtles, and Napoleon wrasse in near-untouched waters.
What to expect
Board a dedicated banca boat from Iboih jetty, a short 10-minute ride to Rubiah Sea Garden. Your certified dive master briefs you on the site before a relaxed entry into 15–25 m visibility water. Coral gardens give way to dramatic drop-offs alive with reef sharks, giant clams, and schools of barracuda. Between dives, surface to a floating platform with fresh water, fruit, and silence — no crowds, no rush.
Good to know
Iboih Beach is 30–40 min by private car or ojek from the cruise pier — arrange a vehicle in advance. Book at least 48 hours ahead; bring your dive certification card. All-aboard is typically late afternoon, giving ample time for a two-tank dive.
