Sibu Island

  • Pulau Sibu forms part of the Seribuat chain of islands and lies 12 kilometres off the east coast of the West Peninsular of Malaysia.
  • The island is shaped like triangular hour glass, about 6km long and never more than 1 km wide its whole length.
  • Most of the island resort are situated on the north eastern section of Sibu Island, where the golden brown beaches slope away gradually offering ideal bathing conditions.
  • On a clear day, Tioman Island can be seen to the north.
  • The scuba diving in this area is generally shallow, between 30 ft to 40 ft, allowing longer 'bottom time'.
  • The sea life is prolific and varied, from Nurse Sharks to Moray Eels, Bat Fish to Blue Spotted Sting Rays and many more.

  • In 1993, this tiny island was declared as bird sanctuary and at the end of 2004 was closed to tourists.

  • As the island is protected area and a site of outstanding natural beauty,we urge you to behave responsible when you visit, and make sure to control your buoyancy when diving.
