Scuba Diving & PADI Courses with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah – Customer Feedback

“Just thought I would send a message to say thanks again for your superb scuba diving trips in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

It was truly great fun scuba diving with you guys, whilst at the same time you were always very knowledgeable and professional. I left with some very valuable and memorable diving experiences.

Borneo is a great place to dive and also learn to dive. I would recommend Borneo Dream to anybody who wants to dive with experienced and friendly guys in one of the best dive spots in the world.

Top marks, peace.”

Scuba Diving from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with Borneo Dream

Borneo Dream ran some scuba diving day trips to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, near Kota Kinabalu, Sabah  this week. We enjoyed some great diving during the week.

Anemone Fish

Anemone Fish

My favorite dive was yesterday morning at Edgell Patches, off the West facing side of Pulau Sapi. We dived between 12m – 18m and saw juvenile Barracuda, Nudibranches, Porcelain Crabs, darting Fusiliers a juvenile Hawksbill Turtle, various species of Anemone Fish and a Porcupine Fish hiding in a Barrel Sponge.

During our second dive yesterday, off sloping East Reef of Pulau Sulug, we spotted a banded sea snake which carried on searching for food in crevices in the reef whilst it was filmed by one of the divers in our group. We also spotted two Blue Spotted Rays, several banded Pipefish and a very busy cleaning station. A couple of the divers got a manicure from some very friendly Cleaner Shrimp. Cool!

Congratulation to Macy, Pam Pam, Xiang Wei, Nick and Amanda who have all just completed their PADI Open Water Diver course with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu!

They learned to dive in the tropical waters of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP). They dived several of the dive sites in TARP including Sapi House Reef, Manukan West Reef, Edgell Patches and Mamutik West Reef.

They saw Turtles, Cuttle Fish, Blue Spotted Rays and lots of fish life during the course. The visibility was very good at around 20m on some dives, the sun shined and the wind was calm – fantastic weather for learning to dive.

We even had time for them to have a go on our 3 seater canoe and go snorkeling during surface intervals – a real action packed 3 days ;-) . Enjoy some photos from their PADI Open Water Diver course. Read the rest of this entry »

Martin, Tee, Steven, Xu Bin and Ben dived a range of the many dive sites Borneo Dream has identified in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP), near Kota Kinabalu. They dived coral reefs near all the five islands in TARP marine park – Pulau Sapi, Pulau Gaya, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Sulug and Pulau Mamutik.

We also took them diving on a new coral reef we found on our last day (using the fish finder on our catamaran) – and found large shoals of Yellow Snapper, Lion Fish, Porcupine Fish, Blue Spotted Rays, Fusiliers, Surgeon Fish. Xu Bin loved diving through the middle of the big shoal of Yellow Snappers. Read the rest of this entry »
