About this site
Rubiah Sea Garden is a reef dive site located at Pulau Weh, Indonesia, characterised by white sandy slopes dotted with hard coral bommies. The site reaches a maximum depth of 25 metres and is rated suitable for beginners.
The terrain features gently sloping sandy bottom with hard coral bommies rising from it, offering varied structure across the dive. Visibility is generally good and water temperature sits at 28–29°C year-round, though currents can run strong.
The site holds a solid range of marine life across the sandy and reef habitats. Regular sightings include reef fish, stingrays, giant clams, turtles, and clown triggerfish, while fields of garden eels populate the sandy areas. Among the more unusual species encountered here are flying gurnards, ghost pipefish, and leaf scorpionfish, alongside nudibranchs, flatworms, bubble anemones, honeycomb morays, black-spotted morays, and black-blotched morays.
