I was diving with Scuba Junkie on the 12th February 2012. The diving was great, blessed with the Celebes Sea and being so near to a diving haven I made the trip unplanned and flew straight to Tawau.

I headed to Scuba Junkies in August 2011, initially intending to stay only 5days before moving on to other places in Borneo. I ended up staying nearly 3 weeks in both resorts in Semporna and Mabul.

We stayed on the Mabul accomidation in the dorm room - which was very nice, with its own bathroom, deck and hammock. Buffet food is great. $95 includes food and dorm accomidation. I did my Advanced Open Water dive course for two days, and then Sipidan on the third day. I found the dive instructors very relaxed and accomidating, but... More

We first went to Scuba Junkie 7 years ago and have been back at least 10 times since!!! We have always found the staff very knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating, despite finding both new and old staff each time we are there the level of customer service and the high standards never change. Scuba Junkie is a very well organised dive... More

My boyfriend went there to dive and I just wanted to snorkel which was so amazing, I saw so many fish and turtles turned up everyday to feed on the coral!! The sea was so beautiful and warm, I was in heaven!! The people who run scuba... More

we were here in december, and loved mabul resort - it was great value for money, and the island lifestyle suited us down to a tee. The food was just what we needed to fill us up from a days diving, and the sunset bar above the restaurant is a great way to unwind. thank you to all the staff,... More
