Rubiah Sea Garden
Marine-park coral garden off Rubiah Island
Boat transfer, clear water, and a shallow coral garden make this a popular snorkel and scuba stop; current can build away from the shallows.
About Rubiah Sea Garden
Rubiah Sea Garden is a marine-park coral garden off Rubiah Island in Sabang, with shallow colorful reef, hard-coral bommies, and a slope that works well for snorkelers and scuba divers. Boat transfers from Rubiah Island are normal, and the site is known for clear water, warm conditions, and a rich mix of reef life. It is usually straightforward in the shallows, but current can strengthen as you move deeper or away from the garden edge.
