Hi, I am Johnny from Malaysia and a member of the Malaysian Diving Community, the largest online diving community in Southeast Asia. I took a group of 22 Malaysian divers to Borneo Divers Mabul Resort (BDMR) on 13-17 June 2009. This was my third trip to BDMR in 15 months, the first with my family (4 pax) in March 2008,... more

Well, I just got back from a week at Borneo divers and really enjoyed myself.. I have never written for TripAdvisor but truly felt compelled this time.. I read so many really bad reviews about this resort and almost canceled my trip because of all the negative reviews.. So I wanted to write about my entire experience to set the... more

Myself and three other dive instructors from the USVI booked a dive/rain forest vacation with Borneo Divers. The diving off of Mabul island was great muck diving, same for Kapalai island. The best diving of all was on Spidan. Out of the six days of our stay we were lucky to be able to go there three times, four dives... more

The amount and the diversity of marine life was impressive. The entire resort and dive staff was friendly and helpful. The dive masters were very informative and constantly pointing out interesting fish to observe and photograph. I was able to dive on both the Mabul and Sipadan dive sites which offered more variety. more

Me and my boy-friend from Holland had a very pleasant time at Borneo Divers Resort. Bungalow was very comfortable and clean. Every day cleaning and fresh water. We also enjoyed the beautiful garden with swimming pool. The dive-masters are all friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the diving spots at Mabul. But also the trips we did from Mabul to Sipadan,... more

Great food, wonderful staff, smart divemasters and crew, good diveboats and equipment, amazing sharks, turtles, jackfish, barracudas and more. Well worth a stay! more

We originally booked as divers but when I failed my dive medical due to asthma, we changed to snorkelling only which was a little bit cheaper but not much, what they didn't tell us was that we as snorkellers, had no chance of getting to Sipadan. He (Steve, dive manager) was incredibly rude when we complained and basically we were... more

Packages at this "resort" (stretching a very long bow to call it a resort) are extremely expensive and the only reason people pay such a lot of money is to dive or snorkel at Sipadan Island - their website is full of the glories of magical Sipadan. What the website negligently omits to say and you don't find out until... more

We booked this resort through our travel agent months ago, with the idea of diving at Sipadan and Mabul with an established, well known company ((Borneo Divers). Disappointed doesnt even begin to describe what we felt! DIVING: despite having booked, as said, months in advance, we were only sent to Sipadan ONE DAY. The dive staff, from the 'head' (Steve)... more
