Dive-site story
Rubiah Utara sits off the northern tip of Rubiah Island in Pulau Weh, where the open Andaman Sea brushes against the reef. The topography combines massive granite boulders, coral-encrusted slopes, and sandy channels. Strong tidal flows often sweep across the point, attracting pelagic predators and schools of fusiliers hovering over deep sea fan fields.
Extensive fields of giant sea fans clustered among submerged boulders
Frequent pelagic action along the current-swept point
Dense schools of trevally and hunting reef sharks
