Super friendly, funny staff won't let you be bored while diving or learning with them! They try to share whatever they know, no commercial, no scamming! Totally happy with diverse borneo and would go back to them if goin to Sabah again! Thanks for letting me stay in the office for hours for a rubbish chit chat :) More

Originally as a Divemaster intern, I progressed to being a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor with Diverse Borneo and their 5-Star Instructor Development Centre facilities. The collective knowledge, skills and diving experience the team possesses is second to none. I cannot think of a better place for an aspiring diver to enhance their diving skills than in the haven of... More

The staff at Diverse Borneo are absolutely professional, yet delightfully humorous and encouraging, making our learning journey a breeze. The only down-side i can think of would be the ill-weather as we picked the monsoon season to travel to KK. Visibility was slightly poor after the rain. However, little did that dampen our spirits as our dives were still amazing.... More

Took my Open Water Course here at KK with my bro in Jun 2011. I must say the experience surpassed my expectations. Ian, my dive instructor for the course, was both professional and personable. Highly recommended for fellow divers! More
