Oil Rig Wrecks

Not a shipwreck but the most distinctive dive Brunei has that isn't one: platform sections placed on the seabed in the 1990s and now grown in. Around 45 minutes by boat from Serasa.

Unique features

  • Decommissioned oil-rig structures sunk as an artificial reef in 1994 — a direct product of Brunei's offshore industry
  • Maximum around 18m, so it works for Open Water divers and for a shallow third dive
  • Steel framework colonised by soft coral, with resident reef fish and schooling jacks
