So worth it

Published on Dec, 2024

Had the best day! Never seen so many different species in one day; octopus, pufferfish, stingray, bannerfish, turtle, trumpetfish. Enjoyed a delicious lunch at a nice restaurant(included in the price). Bas and Yadi was very professional and I always felt safe. They have a funny humor and made us laugh plenty through the trip! Quite inexpensive experience, so worth the money :) Thank you for a great day.

Fantastic

Fantastic day. Well organised and clear communication leading up to our trip. The forecast was for bad weather so we were advised of change to programme which gave us best chance of getting our two dives in before weather turned. 2 of our party had tried scuba discovery before, 1 hadn’t and felt level of tuition was suitable for us all to enjoy. Mira was our guide/instructor for the day and was knowledgeable and looked after us all well.

Excellent tour. I would go again.

This was an amazing tour. Our group had 7 tourists on the boat. Five went on a snorkel tour. I and my companion went on the "beginner's scuba adventure." Our guide, Aamir (I probably have the spelling wrong), was fantastic. He was easy to understand, attentive, kind, patient, and was in no way pushy or tried to hurry us along or acted like we were a burden. If I took an Intermediate Scuba Class, I would want him as my instructor. The tour crew were very prompt to start (so don't be late). We boated out to a permitting point, checked in, then headed out to the scuba practice area. The first dive spot was only 2 or 3 meters deep-- mostly meant to practice basic scuba skills. After lunch on a small resort island, we went to a second scuba dive spot where we could dive to 9-10 meters. The first spot was a dead, abandoned coral reef. (Pretty depressing.) The second spot had areas of living circles reef with the corresponding fish. We even saw a sea turtle resting on the ocean floor. I unconditionally recommend this tour for someone wanting to try out scuba diving.

Amazing

Best diving experience

Published on Jan, 2024

My wife really wanted to try scuba diving but was a bit scared yet we decided to book a tour with Borneo Dream Travel and we don’t regret at all. Basir is a great instructor, at first he give us some exercises under water to make my wife feel more confident and it was very helpful as she did not have any diving experience and not very comfortable under water. During diving he showed us outstanding marine life sometimes using his flashlight and etc. We saw sharks, stingrays, blue stars, Nemo fish and lots of other species. I’ve been diving several times before but never saw such an incredible marine life this is the best diving ever!)
