“Excellent Diving Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2012

We were in Kota Kinabalu visiting relatives who live there, they recommended Borneo Dream to us for a Scuba Diving Experience, and arranged the whole thing. The whole day went perfectly smoothly with myself and my 12 year old twins having a great time. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience Scuba Diving.
