- Andrew DSingapore, Singapore381 contributionsIf you enjoy people watching and variety of dining options, Long Beach is the place to go. You can find everything from lower-end to the more premium meals—though they are mostly either of Malay, Thai, Western or seafood varieties. The vibrant beach environment is great and it especially bustles at night with party music. There are multiple fire shows at night happening in different places between 7.30-8.30pm on the northern part of the beach. But the main highlight is the one happening around 10pm or 11pm at Black Tip Beach Bar (check the exact time with the bar).Written 8 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KayeSingapore, Singapore3 contributionsWe have joined a few snorkeling trip with Pirate Snorkeling Service and Taxi, which is a small booth located just in front of Sea Voice Divers.
Ricky, the owner, is an honest guys and reliable. He is skillful and we feel very safe in his speedboat. Do prepare own snack and water and a bit of cash if joining the long trip, so that you able to enjoy lunch at fisherman village.
We had an enjoyable snorkeling experience when joining Ricky. We get to swim with sea turtle, sharks, and able to see a lot of beautiful fish.Written 23 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I am an advanced diver and was very happy with the dive sites and the dive master's that I had as guides. They were knowledgeable, funny and have great rapport. The owner was fantastic & quickly cleared up a miscommunication with the dive master due to misunderstanding in language.
I have 94 dives under my belt and I loved this location. Dive sites with great corals great wreck diving and swim throughs, which is one of my favorites. Visibility was good.
Thank you Nick & Azri, You made my experience the highlight of the island so far.
I highly recommend Turtle Bay Divers!Written 23 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He is a great instructor as he is serious in teaching me the knowledge and theory of scuba diving and is responsible as he will always ask me if I'm OK whenever we're underwater learning the course. I didn't expect to be able to learn everything in a short period of time and complete the course but I did it and I really liked the course instructed by Joy and will definitely take the Advanced Open Water course once I get more experience in Open Water diving.Written 18 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Johannes S1 contributionWe went to Perhentian Island to take our PADI Open Water Course. We looked for the right place to do it at both Long Beach and Koral Beach till we finally stumbled into Sea Voice Divers. They were so kind and welcoming and made it a very special memory for us. Our instructor, Man, was exceptional good at creating a both fun and serious environment for our learning process, which was perfect for us. They were also good at listening and trying to incorporate every possible wish of ours.
Even when you weren’t diving or studying you didn’t wanna leave the divingschool cause of the nice atmosphere at the place. So we would definitely recommend anyone looking for a divingschool to check out Sea Voice Divers.
Best regards

- beauboCleveland Ohio USA332 contributionsI made a last minute decision to dive in Bunaken and the divers where I was staying in the Togean Islands had all independently recommended Panorama. So a first hand referral is always the most confidence building for me.
I contacted the owner Sven who was in prompt and helpful contact to explain the logísticas JF confirm the booking. So for me, excellent pre trip communication is usually A good indicator for an excellent experience on the premises. And indeed that was the case !!!
I had a functional room with everything I needed like soft mattress, good shower pressure nice fan and flush toilet. Anything else is just a drill I could easily live without. I had a beach bungalow with a. Balcony close enough to ocean to hear waves at night room was spotlessly clean
The food was quite good- for sure fresh and tasty. Pretty on par with other dive resorts. Was a nice convenience to be able to buy beer and soft drinks.
A nice bonus was a massage service which was terrific by Angel.
The dive organization is professional yet relaxed.
I had three guides all of whom had a keen eye for macro and off in the distance sharks and schools of tuna and trevally. The boat was large and the dive sites relatively close by. The tanks are overfilled to closer to 240 than 200 bar so a couple of dives were in excess of 75 minutes.
The dive sites are very solid. Tons of turtles who are incredibly friendly as they swim within inches of you. Water was warm. Hopefully not too warm to trigger bleaching Cheers to William Ego Asoh and Yobel as guides. Ferman and Nofita handling dining room (and arranging fresh sambal each day for me!!)
And of course making the smooth experience all possible - SVEN who is clearly an involved and hands on owner.
Panorama easily earned a 5 star rating from me and wishing them only the bestWritten 8 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Lieke HBerlin, Germany1 contribution
During my stay, Lekker Divers' team offered a welcoming atmosphere, creating a family-like dynamic with both the staff and divers. The dives were diverse and felt relaxed, as they always prioritized safety above all.
I initially planned on following a 2-3 day course and ended up staying 10 days. So far, it has been the highlight of my trip around Asia, and I would recommend anyone to visit the Perhentian Islands and dive with Lekker Divers.Written 2 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I did my advanced open water and many fun dives. The diving is great with the best dive masters and instructors and good equipment. I wish I could have stayed longer! I really enjoyed the whole experience.Written 20 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Christian 🇦🇹33 contributionsVERY recommendable place to dive! I went there because it was recommended to me on Pulau Redang. Best choice ever to do my OWD course there!
Very helpful in organizing the trip (thanks Rais).All the people are very professional and helpful, experienced, patient (thanks Rizal 😉) and its a lot of fun. Equipment is well maintained.
Rooms are simple but clean and comfy and reasonably priced.
Very friendly atmosphere, you get breakfast every day, have dinner together, enjoy the best fish BBQ by Chef Adam 👌 and have a good time. Feels like a little family 👌💪go there and have a good time, also when you don't stay there...everybody is welcome !!
I'm glad I did my OWD with you guys, YOU ROCK 🤟Written 8 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

AndRasa is wonderful - their philosophy and way of teaching emphasize on genuinely feeling and looking within - but getting Howie as my instructor truly made all the difference. He's more than just a great instructor: highly competent, patient, empathetic, passionate, safe...but more importantly he cares about your journey as a freediver, instils confidence in you and pushes you to do better. He's also a truly inspiring individual, reminding you to have the courage to pursue what you love.
Can't say enough good things about AndRasa and Howie!Written 24 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BertranhBarcelona, Spain95 contributions24 February 2023/ great discovery diving experience with Sam and his team!!! i can.t recommend more the diving with such great professional team : full patient explanation, great coaches, gorgeous diving site in Romantic beach!! progressive immersion, Sam makes sure our family group of 5 ( kid of 14+ 2 young adults) is comfortable at every step of the journey!

We are travelling with a group of friends, who took the open water course with Instructor Dailos. The group was a bit anxious at first as some of them were not very good at swimming but Dailos definitely did a good job and taught them all the skills and techniques while maintaining the good fun!
My husband and I did fun dives with Dailos, Ana and Ylenie who were all very experienced instructors and knew the dive sites very well. The dive requirements were well mantained and the dive shop was well organised.
I would highly recommend Angel Diver to anyone who wants to explore the underwater world.
**However**, since we were travelling during the end of Ramadan and the start of Hari Raya and the island is mainly operated by local Malay, most of the restaurants were closed in the morning, so no breakfasts were served. Eventually, when the restaurants were opened, they were overloaded with orders ( at one dinner it took us 3 hours to have our food on the table since we placed the order). So you might want to check with the local traditions and bring some foods yourself just in case.Written 5 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

All of which was locked up at the end of the day. Every single staff member (Bart, Didi and Mat) there was friendly and very knowledgeable. I only planned to do 6 fun dives. However, I ended up adding 3 more fun dives and extending for a couple more nights because I honestly had so much fun!
The dorm rooms are right above the dive centre. A total of 20 beds. If you’re staying there and it’s fully booked, be prepared to bring an extension because the sockets are limited. Bear in mind, the bathrooms are downstairs, by the dive centre. The dorms were clean and comfortable. Electricity on from 7pm to 7am. However, there is solar power during the day for you to charge your phones. No hairdryers allowed. They have a huge sign saying that they’re prohibited. Air conditioning very cold at night. Blankets and towels are available with a deposit.
Let’s move on to dive sites. Overall AMAZING! So beautiful. Such a wide variety of fish and coral. If you are there, make sure to not miss SanChoy wreck! I loved it so much. The instructors Didi, Tony and Nur were very knowledgeable and patient.
The dive centre is located in the middle of Long Beach, a few mins walk from the party but far enough that it’s not noisy at night.
Overall, highly recommended for fun dives and stay.Written 1 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
