I stayed 3 days at their Semporna lodge, which is basic, but cheap and clean. The only reason I did this was to dive the northern islands. The northern islands offer a good variety, I find people come too much to dive only Sipadan. I then stayed 4 days at their Maboul resort, again basic, but clean and cheap. If... More

We spent a full day snorkeling with 3 different dives. The ocean was warm and crystal clear and the staff pointed out many interesting sea life They provided wet suits to protect us from the sun and lunch was included. The only negative would be that they did not provide any water on board. Borneans need to become more environmentally... More

I have posted separate reviews of the accommodation in both Semporna (which was awful) and Mabul (which was average). The diving was however excellent. It was a bit annoying to have to do a minimum of two days' diving around Mabul before we could dive Sipidan, but as neither me nor my husband have much diving experience the eight dives... More

Overall I was very happy with my experience at scuba junkie. The email correspondence was efficient and friendly. I booked months in advanced thinking I'd booked Sipadan, but turns out I had only booked Sipadan Barrier Reef. My fault for not reading through their website more carefully. So when I got there they told me unfortunately all the permits were... More

My initial correspondences with Scuba Junkie wasn't too convincing, furthermore when we reached the office in Semporna, no one really bothered to greet us and asked what we needed (coz we weren't Westerners maybe?) except for one local guy. He then ushered me to the staff who was doing the checking in, (Ali I think), who was nice and helpful.... More

I believe most scuba divers would like to visit Sipadan if you have the chance to visit islands around Semporna. It was my problem that I didn't make any sipadan diving reservation beforehand. However many divers I met in Semporna didn't do so either. Scuba Junkie has a big dive shop in Semporna and seems professional with Westerners doing the... More

We really enjoyed our time at the Mabul Beach Resort and appreciate very much the great work of the Scuba Junkie Diving Team. Every single dive was an incredible experience - thanks to the great organisation, underwater expertise and diving passion of our dive masters Astrid, David, Simone, Steve and the rest of the Scuba Junkie Team. Scuba Junkie is... More

We had the time of our lives on Mabul Island, diving every day with the best dive masters ever at the most spectacular dive sites. It was all so relaxing, fun, wonderful and just perfect. The food was good, the staff was very friendly and helpful and we met so many great people from all over the world. Highly recommended!... More

Booking by email with Scuba Junkie from the UK was so simple we almost feared it was a little too good to be true...we need not have worried, on arrival in Semporna we confirmed our booking was sound and we were transferred right away to Mabul island (fortunate given Semporna was a stinky, grim place). Mabul however was more akin... More
