Mary,

Personally, I totally agree with you. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned doing this travel blog it is that different people care about different things. (And, really, if you think about it, it is a great thing that not everyone likes the same stuff). So we try to give the info and let people decide for themselves.

Thanks for the comment,

~ SCS

Who cares if there is no spa, no gym, or whatever? After all, why would I need a man-made thing, when I can have the real thing? On one of those photos there’s an air conditioner, so it can’t be all that bad. I love that idea, and I think that most man-made things should eventually get recycled to a better purpose, be it an oil rig.

There can’t be marine life nearby every oil rigs, right?

This is nice recycling idea! everything can be reused and put to a good use, even oil platforms (which is quire surprising)!

I will be in Singapore from 21 to 26 April 2011 and I would like to spend a day or two at the Seaventures Dive Rig. Could you please advise availability, costs and transport options from Singapore? Many thanks, Emma

I’m an avid diver and love this idea, but am disturbed to know that there are 3 million oil rigs in our waters. That’s just too much potential for multiple environmental disasters.
