I took my SSI cert in early June with the support of the diving instructors at Alu Alu divers. I was admittedly a nervous first-timer but the team was super professional and helpful, and the whole experience was great. We saw shark, turtles, boxfish, "Nemos", barracuda, you name it... I can only recommend these guys, you won't regret it. Bayu... More

We made a return visit to Bayu Dive Lodge & took their package which included 8 boat dives each. The dive team were good - all English speakers, despite some of them not having English as their first language. All are enthusiastic & want the customer to get as much out of their dive courses or fun dives as possible.... More

I went snorkelling; the dive instructors were nice enough but the trip was very much focused on the divers - I was mainly left to fend for myself. The first stop was good for divers, and completely useless for snorkellers, being too deep and too rough to see anything from the surface.

Supportive personal, nice bungalo and everything for diving whenever you want.

good service, friendly managed . I got my advance diver certificate there with ISI.

If I had to choose between heaven and AluAlu, Id choose AluAlu. The beach is amazing, the staff is really nice, accommodations are very good (ac, hot shower, nice bed, towels!). Food isn't the best but the restaurant next to it has fresh seafood and there is a bar with everything you want. Diving in perhentians is really awesome. Go... More

I never thought that a dive centre would have such a sinfully delicious food. The only setback was the boat transfer from Kuala Besut jetty to the island which I had to wait for almost... More

Just back from a 6D5N stay at Bayu Lodge (separate review written), which included 8 dives in the package. I like diving in Perhentians - far more choice of sites than Redang, & more to see. The folks at Alu Alu were great. All dives had a good briefing before setting off - even if we'd covered the same info... More

This great dive center has not only top serviced gear, but the friendliest staff I ever encountered. We did our SSI OWD there in May 2011 and thanks to Marianne, we had great dives even while doing the course. She is a really dedicated dive master with great experience in skills and teaching. I’ll come back in August, but this... More
