Why dive in Pulau Weh?

Pulau Weh sits at the northwestern tip of Indonesia, where the Andaman Sea meets the Indian Ocean.

It's a quiet island with clear water, healthy coral reefs, and just the right balance of adventure and calm.

What makes it special:

  • Diverse dive sites — easy reefs, deep walls, and fast drifts formed by volcanic terrain
  • Warm water all year (28–29°C)
  • Visibility up to 30 meters
  • Plenty of marine life , from small critters to big ocean visitors
  • Two anemonefish among the tentacles of their anemone on the reef.
  • A shallow coral garden in bright sunlight, hard corals spreading across the seabed.
  • A cloud of orange anthias above a reef slope dropping away into blue water.

What people are saying about Bubble Addict

Myself and my partner completed our basic divers course at bubble addict. The overall experience was excellent;the location, staff and accommodation were top notch! Will was our dive teacher, he was professional, patient and overall lovely guy! We were both quite nervous about our first ever dive experience, we really appreciated the reassurance and patience he showed us, I don't think we would of had the same experience if we were at bigger dive center. It was just two of us completing the course, this allowed us to move at our own pace. We stayed in the fancy bungalow, the space was large, airy and comfortable, and only couple of meters o the beach. The dive school is located on the beautiful beach with lots of food options within walking distance. And if you don't feel like going out for food you can eat at the dive school Cafe. Best coffee and pizza on the island!

Me and my dad decided to go to the Padi Open Water diver at the bubble addict this year. Our dive instructor Raphael was just amazing as he took a lot of time inside and out side of the water. We could feel the passion of diving and that he really wanted us to enjoy diving. After every single dive he explained to us which fish we saw. On top he took care of us, esp. as my dad had some problem with knee. Thank you so much for making our first diving experience unique!

We did our OWV and then we were so excited and did the Advanced Adventurer as well. Our instructor Sam was really great and we totally enjoyed the days we spent with bubble addict. The equipment is good and well maintained. We also did some dives with other divemasters, they were all experienced and have a very good knowledge about the local marine life. They did a really great job!

Chillest august

Super nice operation in the very beautiful, quiet and enjoyable Gapang Beach. You can experience stunning and strong dives like the Canyon or Tokong, but also beautiful sites like Selako Barat; there's also what is probably my favourite beach hut and the coolest staff, which is always rad to be around, plus the delight of the very nice kitchen they have. This one goes recommended. I arrived for a few dives, and stayed 12 days. High times, chillest times, great diving over there.

Perfect place to learn to dive

My partner and I finally decided to bite the bullet and do our Open Water certification. After investigating several dive schools we decided to go with Bubble Addict and are extremely glad we did. Great community, helpful staff, competitive prices and our instructor Wil was friendly and very knowledgeable. We'd both happily recommend this place to anyone looking to dive in Sumatra. Plus they even have real coffee!

Amazing dives, amazing vibes

Thanks Bubble Addict Family ! My partner and I had an amazing time. We did our first dives here and it was amazing, we saw many many fish and beautiful underwater world (turtles, lion fish, cuttlefish, octopus, etc.). We validated our open water and would certainly love to continue our advanced training here! The dive school is beautiful, offering very good food (yummy brownies and sandwiches!), right in front of the water. I also completed the dive training with yoga classes offered here at the shop! It's a very complete experience and we were very satisfied by the professionalism of the instructor (and had a lot of fun). We stayed at the bungalows behind the shop that we can also recommend, so comfy! Thanks again !!!

Diving at a bubble addict means you got new friends and wonderful diving experience. We did our open water here and are totally satisfied. The staff is very professional and take all the time you need to feel comfortable in the water. Once out of the water they are your friends. They just opened the center a few months ago, so everything is brand new. About the diving spots: they are beautiful! You can find all the different conditions around the island. Shallow places with lots of fish and coral till places with strong current and even more fish. We discovered a new hobby, diving. Lots of thanks to Jordan our instructor, Raphael, Agi and Aloys. We are bubble addicted.

Owners, guides and instructors have vast expertise when it comes to the sometimes tricky local waters. They also make you feel like part of the family in between dive sessions. The breakfast sandwich on fresh baguette is incredible and the 'donut lady' shows up at 4pm FYI.

In my opinion this place is everything a dive center should be, cozy place on a nice beach. Awesome team, from the bartender through the divemaster, that makes you feel at home, and a great coffee machine (fairly important for me).
