This is an excellent and very well run divers resort. I went there with my family and my children (aged 17, 15 and 12) all did their Padi Open Water... read more course. Massive special thanks to Tonny who took them for the course and who they loved! The diving is extremely well organised and the team are very knowledgeable, really helpful and incredibly friendly and fun! We visited Barracuda Point, South Point and Hanging Gardens on Sipadan after the kids had completed the course and were rewarded with the highlights that make this one of the best sites in the world to dive - barracuda and jackfish swirling around in their hundreds, white tip reef sharks, loads of turtles and lovely coral. The dives around Mabul were great for micro/muck diving too as well as Morays and Rays. We also did an amazing island hopping trip to the glorious viewpoint at Bohey Dulang with some lovely coral nearby too. The food at the resort is excellent. There is a fair degree of building work going on at the moment at the resort however making the beach difficult to laisse around on, though the huge loungers at the end of the jetty make up for this and the big pool is very nice. The resort will be amazing when all completed but at the moment still remains very good and as a diver, i would not go anywhere else - after all,...

It was our first big family trip of 13 pax of different requirements which the Borneo Divers Resort crew managed it well. Kudos Daniel for the patience in answering all... read more of our questions and accommodated to our requests which nicely handed over to Nora to follow through. Everyone at the resort were super friendly and helpful making sure we feel at home while we were there. Big thanks also to our Dive Masters - Yusuff and Kun taking good care of us, showing us the best of the islands and pointed us to key areas to see when we snorkeled. It was a priceless experience! The entire crew did a fantastic job taking care of us especially when we had a poor weather returning from the island hopping.
Food gets better everyday including really good Sabah coffee and tea! Room is comfy and clean.
Staying in Mabul allowed exploration to how the locals live. Makes you appreciate your life much more.
Thank you again to the whole crew for the impressive work. You guys have 5 stars service in your heart! More

I was at Borneo Dive Resort Mabul from 10-12 Feb. What I can say it, Borneo Dive Resort is superb. Our Villa was facing the swimming pool, room is spacious,... read more clean and comfortable and my children villa was just next to our villa facing garden. We had a great time celebrating a surprise birthday to my son. Thanks for the sweet arrangement.. we like it a lot. Food was good although limited choice. We like the cookies a lot.
My son is a junior advance ow diver and he enjoyed diving in Mabul and we also had a great time snorkeling at Kapalai and Mabul area. Thanks to the PADI Instructor Scott and the dive master who taking a good care of my 13 years old son and also to the guide who took us to Kapalai. He really taking care of us.
I also would like to thank to Carol, Winnie and all the staffs of Borneo Diver Resort for making our trip such a memorable trip.
Highly recommended and we will definitely come again. More

We had a fantastic trip, 4 days and 3 nights snorkeling package. Staff met us at the airport, transfer to boat and then everyone was so welcoming. Accommodation is very... read more good, so clean and really excellent facilities. They are building more villas which is great and the construction wasn't really an issue. The pool is nice and the two trips we did for snorkeling were so much fun. All the staff are so friendly but particularly Eto and Billy for looking after us! The food is good, the bbq night was very tasty. Breakfast is local and American, other meals rice and local dishes but all very nice. We enjoyed the BBQ night the most. The bar is small but welcoming. Everything about this resort is superb!

My girlfriends and I stayed on BD from 14th to 16th September 2020. They have very comfortable accommodation both air conditioned and ceiling fans. Huge toilet with good water... read more pressure.. 🙂 Everything is clean and really well run. The house reef is incredible, but the staffs who make it so special. From Day 1 when they picked us up at our hotel in Semporna till they day they dropped us off in Kapalai, they have provided a top notch 5 star customer service. This is the place where almost all staffs know your name and most importantly your schedule. A big shout out to Pakcik Amin (if i got his name correctly), Scott - the instructor for my DSD who was incredibly PATIENT with me, and Tony (or maybe like to be known as Antonio Banderas) who is super friendly. For a short and cheap DSD (only RM300), Scott showed me an exorbitant amount of cool marine life. I would say, BD's Dive Station is full with great and experienced DM/instructors.
I was a bit skeptical bout the food at first, but it was OK. Limited choice but quite decent. No complaints.
Thank you for great memories. So yeah, highly recommended!
P/s: please send my regards to Roger 🙂

That was a 3 girls trip for 3D2N in Bornoeo Diver Resort, 1 diver and 2 non divers. We had no complaints at all. The room was big and clean,... read more the food was good, and the staff ware very friendly. Prior to arrival, the staff greet us warmly at jetty and waved their hand prior to our departure. I felt like all the resort and diving staff knew the guests name.
We spend most of the time at jetty, i dived and my friends were chilling. PakCik at jetty always checked on them whether they were bored while i was away for diving and he offered for kayak or snorkling (transparant kayak was free!).
The jetty crew and dive crew were very helpfull. My friends then decided to do DSD, and Tonny the jetty supervisor gave them 2 dive instructor to accompany, Scott and Smile. I then decided to have another dive and joined my friends underwater, so another dive crew, Bang Abdul also joined us as my buddy and our photographer lol (i hired him as my dive buddy and been dive with mw for 2 days). Not forget to mentioned that paradise 2 just in front of Jetty was a nice dive site, just jumped out from the jetty and youd get nice view.
Will definetly coming again for our next sabah trip.
