This is the dive vacation for my husband and I 6 motnhs after our vacation in Palau in Feb. Diving in Asia is fantastic. We have been to El Nido in Philippines, Manado in Indonesian and Palau in Micronesia. All were extraordinary without any complain. Though the price for these 3 places are very different, still all places are value... more

This is going to be a bit of a mixed review so I will split it into sections Accommodation: the bedrooms are simple and adequate for 2 persons. The beds are comfy and clean. The bathrooms are a disgrace. Small with dirty, cracked or missing tiles. Toilets are unstable with poorly fitted seats. No hot tap for the sink. The... more

Turn up with a chilled expectation to what you're going to get and you'll have a great time. I was there at the same time as the reviewer complaining about the preferential treatment of the Australian Group. They didn't dive Sipadan everyday as was suggested. Yes, it's quite expensive, but it was basically the same as the other resorts. If... more

My wife and I stayed there for 5D4N recently. We regretted choosing Borneo Divers from the moment we checked in and the experience got worse as the stay progressed. BDMR is supposedly one of the more established operators in Mabul/Sipadan but it was clear to us that owner Clement Lee has not ploughed any of the profits he has made... more

One divemaster said Feb-May is the best bet for stunning vis, and that sometimes the drop in vis comes in June, sometimes later (like this year, in August). It can also vary day to day. The... more

I went to BDMR with minimal expectations after reading some of the reviews. I was advised by travel agent and dive tour group operator that diving on Sipadan was not guarenteed. HOWEVER, I had one of the best trips possible. As a single traveller, I felt comfortable and meet lot's of lovely people. All the staff at BDMR were friendly... more

I took a group of 9 divers (1 snorkeler) to Borneo Divers on a two week trip that also included transfers to Sepilok Nature Preserve and Kuala Lumpur. I have been organizing group dive trips for 15 years, and our expectations for this trip were very, very high. We were not disappointed. One medical doctor who had not previously traveled... more

Hi, I am Johnny from Malaysia and a member of the Malaysian Diving Community, the largest online diving community in Southeast Asia. I took a group of 22 Malaysian divers to Borneo Divers Mabul Resort (BDMR) on 13-17 June 2009. This was my third trip to BDMR in 15 months, the first with my family (4 pax) in March 2008,... more

Well, I just got back from a week at Borneo divers and really enjoyed myself.. I have never written for TripAdvisor but truly felt compelled this time.. I read so many really bad reviews about this resort and almost canceled my trip because of all the negative reviews.. So I wanted to write about my entire experience to set the... more
