7 of us got on a dive boat with Sipadan Scuba's DMT Bryce and we got to do 3 dives in a day in this paradise island. The trenchy was said to be like 600meters deep and we were totally mesmerized by the spotless infinite blue. During the first 2 dives in the Coral Hanging Garden-- the pretty dive spot... More

I did several courses with Sipadan Scuba (from advanced to instructor) and I really enjoyed it. Recently Sipadan Scuba have relocated and the new dive shop is impressive. Staff is really friendly, captains are knowledgable about the area and helpful on the boat. Sipadan Scuba is also the only dive shop that provides nitrox. Once you book Sipadan, you're guaranteed...

This review is for the business side and not the diving experience **Overall a average dive shop who has become a bit to comfortable knowing it will keep getting costumers solely based on it's great location and permits not really standing out in any other way then being able to offer daily tours to Sipadan.** A typical dive trip with...

We booked a three-days package with sipadan scuba, the booking was easy and smooth, but they do a lot of extra charges if you need diving equipment. We organized the transport by ourselves. The Hotel Holiday Dive Inn is great and brandnew, the room has no window but good no problem for a few days. The diving was great, well... More

I found this company the same as most others. The whole area has amazing diving, but do it with another company! They were unprofessional, rude, and kept adding charges on for no reason making us pay an extra £80. When we tried to argue this they just shouted that we had to pay or get out. Worst company we have... More

I booked this holiday about 2 months in advance, and this meant that I was booked in with a permit to Sipadan Island every day of my 7-day dive package, which was brilliant. They also organised our transfer and hotel, so we basically didn't need to do anything ourselves when we got there except dive (which is the point!). The... More

I arrived in town without any reservations for Sipadan Island. I checked out Scuba Junkie first, and was put on a wait list. In addition to the wait list, they require that you dive with them once prior to being allowed to dive at Sipadan. So I walked into Sipadan Scuba for some information and did my first dive with...
