Not very happy with the service at all. First we've been transferred from Semporna to Mabul in a small boat with one engine which took about hour and 20 minutes in rough sea while it was raining and there were lightnings all around. Thanks to the people on the boat who helped to keep our stuff dry we managed to... More

The place is really nice. We really enjoyed the place. Of course, you don't expect a 5 stars resort but it was clean and fresh water.. The food was amazingly good and there was a lot!! No complaint about the accomodation. About diving that's a different story. I had my own equipment so I cannot say about their gears. But... More

Stayed with BIllabong while at Mabul Island diving. My friend was doing his cert and I was fun diving. My friend's instructor didn't seem very thorough and when I went fun diving with a newly certified student it showed. I think a lot of vacation destination dive shops are under pressure to allow dumb students to pass since everyone is... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed 4 days and 3 nights at Billabong scuba diving centre Mabul. The basic room that comes in the (diving) package is very basic. We did not expect something different on forehand, so this was okay, only a cockroach in the room is never a friendly visitor. They do have better rooms though, but these where... More

This is an excellent, well organized dive base! Don't be shocked from the shady office in Semporna it gets a lot better on Mabul island! The dive base is very well run by Vanessa who takes very good care of the guests. They work with a mixed bunch of divemasters. Local crew which are great because they know the divesites... More

I've just spent four nights at Billabong and have so much to say about it - first, the staff at both the Semporna office and the Mabul homestay are warm, professional, and easy to talk to. My trip to Billabong got off on a rocky start; I was instructed to go to the office at 7:30; I got there a... More

We did a package deal for 6 dive's. The dive's where great and lots of fun. The acomodation is basic but good enough. Food ok but could be better of more different kinds. The divemaster or instructures where to me associal and that was not so nice but at the end that didn't spoiled my trip.

I stayed here for 4 nights and did 10 dives with them in total. I completed my Padis open water diving course with them and my instructor was very professional. He was a great teacher and helped answer all my questions and help settle my nerves. Billabong is only small so it wasn't overly busy and was nice and quiet... More

First diving experience for us after certification and it set the bar extremely high! I'll touch on various aspects - ROOM: We stayed for 3 nights in a chalet room (the individual stilt rooms you see in the photos). The rooms from the outside are gorgeous - sitting atop the clear water. Inside they are VERY basic, but clean. The... More
