Weh island is most often referred to as ‘Pulau Weh’ but you will on occasion find locals who refer to the island as ‘Sabang’, the name of Weh island’s largest town. The island is famous for the magnificent scuba diving sites that are scattered around the north-western tip, but the island remains relatively uncongested despite this. This is most likely because of two reasons: the area has had to be rebuilt from scratch after the devastating tsunami of 2004 (triggered by the magnitude of 9.3 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake, the epicentre just off the west coast of Sumatra); as well as the relative difficulty in getting to Aceh province from Malaysia prior to AirAsia opening up routes to Banda Aceh from Kuala Lumpur.
Iboih is home to Rubiah Tirta Divers, the first dive centre to be established on the island. The dive centre was founded by the late Mr. Dodent way back in the 70s, and is now run by his tree sons: Iskandar, Yudi, and Isfan. Mr. Dodent was one of the first to advocate for the protection of Weh’s marine environment, and helped Iboih to achieve Recreational Park status and Weh island to achieve Marine Park status, ensuring the protection of the area. Mr. Dodent was even given awards in recognition of these efforts. Rubiah Tirta has a very relaxed and jovial atmosphere and is pretty affordable, offering very reasonable prices for both fun dives as well as PADI courses.

So far one of the best diving center where I dove so far. The staff made our experience amazing and unforgettable. The structure is so welcoming and the surroundings are breathtaking. Diving here is an adventure, deep walls and great sea fan gorgons (the biggest I’ve ever seen). A big thanks to Rubiah Tirta diving, hope to see you soon

Habe den Refresher mit Isfan, einem sehr erfahrenen Dive Instructor im März 2023 gemacht und anschließend zwei weitere Tauchgänge. Isfan ist sehr geduldig und aufgrund seiner langen Erfahrungen zeigt er viele Dinge. Die Tauchgänge mit ihm waren wunderbar, ich würde jederzeit wieder mit ihm tauchen und kann ihn nur sehr weiterempfehlen und natürlich Rubiah Tirta Divers. Vielen Dank Sabine
