INCREDIBLE!!!

As 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

My son and I had a fantastic trial dive with Arthur Didi, so good we booked for the next day too! We saw everything from turtles to lion fish, beautiful coral and great guidance and instruction from Arthur- he was kind, patient and really knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend

Great 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, TRY DIVE was a fantastic experience. Alex and Azmi have been wonderful. Never felt unsure, always ready and in control.

Scuba 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

We 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

We had an amazing time, this was by far the best thing we did in KK! I hadn’t scuba dived in 14 years, and it was my partner’s first time and he was quite nervous. Basir and Yadi made us feel so comfortable as we prepared for the dive and progressed slowly to 12 meters. We saw a sea turtle, barracuda, and tons of beautiful life on the reef. I highly recommend, and if it’s your first time trying SCUBA, these are great people to learn from!
Wonderful day!

We had such a great time diving! Our dive guide Alex was very good at teaching us the basic skills, and he made sure we all felt safe during our dives. Very professional! The skipper Yadi was also very kind and he took a lot of photos that we got afterwards. We saw many fish and corals, and we also spotted a proboscis monkey on our way back to Kota Kinabalu. We would definitely recommend this if you are interested in diving!
It is a nice experience...

We had a wonderful day with Bas taking our kids (ages 10 & 12) on their first ever scuba experience. They specifically asked for him after a previous day out snorkelling with him as lead. He made them feel really at ease. Can't thank him enough for giving them a perfect start to diving!!!
