What Our Divers Say

"

Best diving experience in Southeast Asia for this price! James and the team were incredibly professional and fun. The coral at Abang Island was stunning. Already booked my next trip for Advanced OW course.

I was terrified of the ocean but always wanted to try diving. The Discover Scuba experience here was perfect — patient instructor, small group (just me and my friend), and the underwater photos were amazing!

Putri Handayani

★★★★★
"

We chartered a private boat for our company outing — 8 people, island hopping + snorkeling. Everything was perfectly organized, BBQ lunch was delicious, and the team was super friendly. 10/10 would recommend!
