Scuba Diving with Borneo Dream
PADI Divemaster Internship with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Congratulations to Mike Chapman who has just completed his PADI Divemaster Internship with Borneo Dream. Mike is now a certified PADI Divemaster, a Dive Professional and a Dream Boy!!
Mike is from Australia and had dived with Borneo Dream during his previous two holidays to Sabah, Borneo. He was keen to develop his scuba diving skills further so decided he would complete a PADI Divemaster Internship. Originally he was going to complete his DM course in Australia. Following his experiences of diving from Kota Kinabalu he decided this was the right location for him to become a PADI Divemaster and the Borneo Dream Team where the best team for him to complete it with. I also think he liked the idea of becoming a Dream Boy
