Been to Borneo Divers Mabul for the fifth time. The dive team is great.Very well organized and clean dive station, helpful reservations staff. Great boats and excellent dive masters. However, food was disappointing. As divers, we don't expect super food, but the kitchen team seems as though they just don't care. Same cookies and sandwiches three days in a row.... More

In the end, I was very pleased to have chosen Borneo Divers in Mabul and had a fabulous week. I found it very difficult to choose a dive operator from the UK. I wanted to dive Sipadan, to be with a professional organisation, and have a minimum level of comfort. Pros: 1) Good access to Sipadan - I got to... More

Price I did a few comparison before booking with Borneo Divers, their pricing is straight forward, and... More

staff is amazingly friendly, safe and clean location, dove sipadan several times but truthfully enjoyed the other islands more, sipadan seemed a bit too hyped, the house reef is great for diving or snorkeling More

Stayed a night in Tawau before they picked me up for a 2hrs journey to Semporna. After waiting for a short while, we were transferred to a boat to the resort. We were greeted by the cheerful team of staff at the jetty. We were briefed on the procedures after formalities. Every bungalow consists of 2 units. Room is of... More

We were picked up from our hotel in Tawau in a very comfortable AC bus. The driver was on time and really helpful. We arrived in Semporna and were shown to the little transfer office. Our bags etc were transferred for us with no hassle. The boat over was comfortable and quick. When we arrived the weather was bad. We... More

My daughter and I traveled here at the beginning of July for a week, we had two days diving at Sipadan and soon learned that NITROX needs to be booked in advance otherwise forget it. The staff are great, but visibility at this time of year was not fantastic due to heavy rains. Another issue was newbie divers with no... More

Standard service for this hotel on Mabul Island... Accomodation is quite standard : rooms are clean and quiet, we appreciated the buffet for lunch, especially if you've been diving all day. In the hotel personnel is nice and helpful...but the daily arrivals and departures of guests make it quite impersonal. Diving : Equipment and boats are OK...It was nice staying... More

We stayed here Oct 2007 during our week long dive holiday to Sipadan and Mabul Island. I did not have very high expectations as the resort is so isolated, but therein lies the charm.Five dives a day, meals in between, evening activities at the beach bar or cultural shows put on by the management and staff. We had a lovely... More

My colleagues and I stayed at the Borneo Divers Mabul Resort in Sabah, Malaysia recently and we enjoyed the warmth and excellent service provided by the dive as well as the resort staff there. Their level of professionalism was exemplary and we are sure they will continue this excellence for many years to come. More
