Where to Stay in Artificial Reefs & Oil Rig Sites

Accommodation for artificial reef diving is based in Bandar Seri Begawan as the sites are reached by day boat from Serasa harbour. The 30-minute boat transfer makes the Rig Reef easily accessible as part of a day trip without requiring extended time at sea. Capital hotels range from luxury to budget, providing comfortable bases for multi-day Brunei diving itineraries that include artificial reefs alongside the coastal wrecks and offshore sites. Many operators include the Rig Reef as a highlight of their standard two-dive day trips, combining it with a wreck site for variety. The unique nature of diving a decommissioned oil platform appeals to divers interested in marine conservation, industrial heritage, and unusual underwater environments.
