Dive-site story
Rubiah Jetty sits on the sheltered shoreline of Pulau Rubiah facing the Iboih channel. The dive centers around the wooden and concrete pier pilings, which give way to a gentle slope composed of coral rubble, patches of hard coral, and white sand. The structure provides shelter for juvenile fish and macro life, making it a reliable spot for easy day dives, refresher sessions, and critter-focused night diving.
Pier pilings covered in sponges, hydroids, and soft corals hosting microfauna
Sheltered conditions ideal for photography and relaxed macro searching
Frequent encounters with resident moray eels under jetty debris
