On the 21th of april i started my divemaster course with Diverse Borneo. This was a great experience. I feld comfortable with the staff immediately.
As a divemaster i started working with the crew and every day i did skills for the divemaster course. I had a few instructors who teached me so got a lot of experience with different instructors.
Diverse Borneo takes you out for three dives on a day, so you also get a lot of experience during diving. Doing an internship with Diverse Borneo in my opinion is the best way to learn because you get to experience the job.
Thanks a lot

This is my first time diving ever. and now I really love it. because they give me a good experience in diving. The people working in diverse borneo are nice. The staff working in the office, the crew, the instructors are all nice and friendly and professional!

Before going to Sabah, I know nothing about diving. I search in the internet for a few dive centers. Finally I choose Diverse Borneo because the price is attractive and its a 5star PADI dive center. I chat with Mark (the course director) for a dozen of emails. I know more from Mark (really helpful) and finally I choose it with my instincts among the others. Luckily, what I choose is a very good dive center!

I have my open water, advance, EFR, nitrox and rescue with them. My instructor Ryan and Hali are nice and professional! of course I study a lot with the booksss as you need to self-study before. Actually, this kind of teaching really save time. If you don't understand, just ask. What they teach me is very practical and useful. Besides, we are friends more than instructors and students because they take care me a lot haha. really thx them!!! besides, I also meet other instructors like Jon. They are all nice guys!

All the equipment, fins, masks, wetsuit, BCD, regulator are included. What I bring is just a swim suit. To me who know nth in the beginnering, I no need to worry as they prepare all for me! Also, lunch are also included as well! and the time for me is very fexibile! As I just go alone with limited time in my holiday, Ryan and Hali teach me personally as they start the classes everyday even just one!

There maybe some others good dive centers in KK I don't know. But i sure that Diverse Borneo is one of the BEST! I would like to go back in my next holiday! They make a good start for me in diving. I want to continue to dive!!!

I did my rescue dive course and my friend did her PADI open water. We both really enjoyed everything and diverse Borneo made it all very easy. A friendly team, good equipment, reasonably priced, we couldn't have asked for more!

I took my AOW course at Diverse Borneo with Mr.Halid, a very nice instructor. After I completed the AOW course, I did fun dive with DB for 3 days, which made me know more about the whole dive team. I dived with Halid, Razalee, Alwee and Randy. They tried to show me as many as possible underwater and helped me to improve my diving technique. The boss Mark quickly replied my emails, which made me feel they are trustworthy, and from my own experience, DB is really professional.
