Just dive.. Quite fun with family.. Thx Irwin Didi

5.00Very fun. Thanks to Irwin Didi Easy to understand explanation. Very easy to follow steps. We learn so fast that we get to dive 7 meters. Wow ! Though there are not much to see underneath in KK region, it is still very fun (just do it for the fun with your teen kids). You cannot imagine the sun and the water from a computer. Get yourself wet and you will not regret doing it anyway.. Water is colder underneath (no need to talk to anyone). Crowded with many local and overseas tourist. Pretty good atmosphere.. And we hope we could dive more hours
Excellent

5.00Superbly organised front and back of house. Good quality and maintained equipment. Divemaster Didi was very safety conscious and delivered a great set of dives. Captain Irwin quietly and smoothly managed the boat. Vis was okish, dives to about 12m. Lots of marine life including turtles and reef sharks. We are not inexperienced divers and were impressed with the operation. Also great value.
First diving experience with Didi

5.00As inexperienced divers we immediately felt reassured by our instructors Alex and Azmi who showed us the ropes on how to safely dive. We went on 2 dives, with a break for lunch on the island in between (which was delicious). Strongly recommend!!!
Great dive

Scuba in Kota Kinabalu

5.00Great experience. Very professional. Amir Azmi was an excellent dive instructor. Excellent day of scuba diving off the coast of Kota Kinabalu. Ideal for someone who hasn’t dived for a while and needs a refresher (me). And also for someone who has never dived (my daughter). Reassuring emphasis on safety.
First time scuba diving

5.00Scuba diving was absolutely incredible! Our instructor, Alex, explained everything so clearly and was amazing at helping us work through any issues—by the second dive, it felt like I had grown gills! And Azmi, our captain, was so warm and welcoming, he made the whole day even more special. I’m totally hooked on diving now. Huge thanks to both of you—hopefully next time you’ll see me as a certified PADI diver! 😊
Fantastic day out

5.00We used this as a refresher after having not dived for a number of years. Went out with Alex and Azmi today and what a brilliant pair. Knowledgeable, patient, understanding, fun and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend this as a day out as you will be looked after without doubt. Thank you guys. James and Mandy
