Scuba Diving Trip to the WW2 Rice Bowl Wreck with Borneo Dream – Video by Scubazoo

On the 8th July 2010 Borneo Dream ran a scuba diving trip from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to the WW2 Rice Bowl Wreck. On board our RIB we had Billy, Our TDI Rebreather Instructor, with his two Closed Circuit Rebreather students – Neil & Angela Hadley. They were enjoying their first leisure dive on rebreathers on the wreck. We also had Roger Munns and Jason Isley join this diving trip to take some underwater video and photos of both the Rice Bowl Wreck and Mayne Rock – two of our long distance dive sites accessible from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Enjoy a video taken during their first leisure dive on the WW2 Rice Bowl Wreck. The video was taken by Roger Munns from Scubazoo who kindly shared it with Borneo Dream. It is awesome!!!

What did you like best?:The staff were absolutely great. Gon and James (and the rest of the staff) were excellent with our kids – providing thorough, friendly instruction while pervading a sense of calm that helped everyone stay relaxed. We had a great time and would recommend Borneo Dream to anyone considering a SCUBA class in Sabah. The boat(s) and equipment were also top notch. Also, Joanne was kind enough to take and send underwater pictures of us diving – which were a huge hit. Thanks!!”

A Family Experience – PADI Open Water Diver Course with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Congratulations to the Bound Family on becoming certified PADI Open Water Divers during their holiday in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!

Andrew and his wife Lori had previously learned to dive over 10 years a go but hadn’t dived since. They decided it would be nice if they learned to dive as a family so Andrew, Lori and their two sons (Nathan and Aidan) all signed up for the PADI Open Water course with Borneo Dream.

All of them wanted to complete the required pre-study before they came on holiday to Kota Kinabalu – meaning they could enjoy just getting wet and scuba diving during the three days of the PADI OW course. Andrew and Lori completed PADI eLearning. Aidan and Nathan were too young to sign up for PADI eLearning so we posted their manuals to them in Singapore and they read them in advance.

Day 1 of their PADI Open Water course arrived and the boys took to diving like fish! They were amazed by everything they saw underwater – Table Coral, Anemone Fish, Damsel Fish, Barrel Sponges and lots more. During Day 2 and Day 3 of their course and the family just kept enjoying each dive they did together. Read the rest of this entry »
