Our First Underwater Proposal with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
"Will you marry me?"
Our First Underwater Proposal with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
The booking all started out quite normal – two divers to join our scuba diving day trip to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, near Kota Kinabalu. When Jasper asked if Borneo Dream had ever had a diver propose on one of our diving trips before I knew this was going to be no ordinary scuba diving experience.
Jasper and the Borneo Dream team kept in touch in the weeks running up to the surprise underwater proposal making sure every last detail had been thought through. We had arranged a private dive guide for them (thanks to Gil), an underwater photographer (thanks to Adam from Scubazoo), a nice bottle of wine (for after diving) and had all staff sworn to secrecy 
. The only thing we couldn’t prearrange was the weather!
She said "Yes!"
On the 24th July Jasper and Chuan Tin turned up to join our scuba diving trip in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Jasper was bubbling with excitement and couldn’t wait to get to the third dive when he was going to propose to his girlfriend. Chuan Tin had no idea what was going to happen. The weather was unusually unsettled on the day but that did nothing to dampen Jaspers spirit.
Congratulations!
During the final dive of the day Jasper got down on one knee, took out a ring whilst our Dive Guide rolled out a large flag with the all important question on – “Chuan Tin, will you marry me?”. There was no hesitation in Chuan Tin signally ‘yes’ and the ring was placed on her finger. They both surfaced with Jasper shouting with delight as he broke the surface. Laughter, tears, hugs were in abundance.
Back on the boat the other leisure divers applauded them. What a fantastic surprise for everyone.
The Borneo Dream Team wish Jasper and Juan Tin many happy years together as husband and wife and many more happy dives together. Borneo Dream – making dreams come true in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo.
