The dive routes were well-organized, and the front desk staff were all very friendly. Special thanks to Jun for going out of her way to help us. Before we arrived, I had many questions about the dive schedule and activity details, and she patiently responded to all my emails. The team communicates fluently in both English and Mandarin, which made everything smooth and easy.

The dive masters were attentive and passionate. They constantly checked on my condition, kept an eye on the surroundings, and helped me spot marine life. Big thanks to Kamis, Malik, Abnal, and Abu—our dives over the past few days were amazing.

The quality of the BCD, regulator, weight, fins, and masks was excellent. Wetsuits came in both long and short versions, and were in great condition. On the first day, we arrived early to pick our gear, and the staff were proactive and very helpful. If you continue diving with them on the following days, you can leave your gear at the shop for safekeeping, which saves time in the morning.

Each dive trip includes a lunch box and a 2000ml bottle of drinking water. The only minor inconvenience is that the boat departs at 9:00 AM and doesn’t return until around 4:30 PM—so be sure to use the restroom beforehand.

One more thing to note: the DSD (Discovery Scuba Diving) package includes photo and video services, but make sure your dive master brings a camera—otherwise, you might miss out on this part of the experience. For Fun Dives, photo and video services are not included, so you’ll need to bring your own equipment if you want to capture memories underwater.

Fantastic few days diving with Borneo speedy divers. Very friendly and helpful staff and dive masters. Great lunch included and good quality equipment. Great dive sites around Mataking and Sipadan island. Would highly recommend!

The best dive center of my life.

Very friendly and professional crew, boat is super comfy, dives are well organized, and the vibes are always top-notch.

I've dived with many centers, but Borneo Speedy is by far the best in Semporna.

No regrets, no second thoughts. Just book, they’ll take care of the rest!!!

여행시기:25년10월15일부터 18일까지

셈포르나 여행을 준비하며 구글맵에 나오는 모든 다이빙샾을 다 조사해봤을때 가장 좋은 가격이여서 선택한 이곳. 홈페이지에서 볼때는 상당히 작은규모의 개인이 운영하는 샾 같아 보였음. 오너인거 같은 중국인이 나온 사진이 메인에 있어 그렇게 생각했는데 막상 와서 보니 셈포르나에서 최대규모의 다이빙 샾 인듯함.
시파단 갔을때도 이 샾의 보트는 2대 있었고 다른곳 3군데의 보트가 있었음. 샾이 크니 직원도 많고 보트도 많아 매일 다른 방향으로 보트가 나가면서 스케줄의 다양성도 확보가 잘됨.

아침8시경 샾에 도착해 있으면 가이드들이 일일이 담당 고객 찾아와 바로 옆에 있는 장비 하우스로 대려가 장비 맞춰주고 개인 가방에 보관후 잠시 대기후 출발함. 상당히 체계적으로 잘 되어 있음. 유명 관광지에서 흔히 보이는 다른배 타기. 손님 놓고 가기등은 아예 발생이 안될듯. 배를 타고 각자의 목적지로 향하는데 바람에 대한 대비를 해야함. 스피드보트의 스피드 상당함. 모자,수건,웃옷등 바람을 막아줄 만한 뭐가가 있어야함. 참고로 보트 운전수 바로 뒤에 앉으면 그나마 나음. 운전수 앞에 아크릴판이 있어 바람을 좀 막아주기는 함.

목적지에 도착하면 각자 다이빙 장비를 세팅해야함. 음... 필리핀에서 황제 다이빙을 했었는데 직접 세팅 할려니 조금 부담 스러웠음..잘 몰라서... 그래도 한번더 장비세팅하는거 배우면서 해보니 어려운거 없음.
다이빙도 레벨에 맞게 팀을 나눠 케어를 해줌. 나만 오픈워터라 별로 케어를 받음. 좋았음. 공기를 많이 소모하는 편이라 항상 같이 들어가는 다이버들한테 미안했는데 나만 있으니 맘 편했음.
다이빙 2회후 도시락 먹는데 완전 꿀맛.. 어떤 음식이던 맛이 없을 수 없음. 장비 세팅도 처음만 내가 하고 두번째부턴 다 해서 내 자리에 갖다줌.. 내께 어떤건지 찾아 헤메지 않아도 됨.

시작부터 끝날때까지 완벽한 서비를 받음. 너무 만족스런 다이빙 샾임. 셈포르나에 다시 온다면 100% 다시 이용 할 것임.

번외: 바다 상태가 너무 않좋음. 마타킹.폼폼. 시파단. 마블. 팀바팀바에서 다이빙을 했는데 시파단의 잭피쉬와 바라쿠다를 제외하면 완전 꽝임. 바다의 산호는 다 죽어 사막화가 진행중이고 시계는 5미터 밖에 안나오고 쓰레기는 너무 많이 떠다님. 거북이들이 비닐봉지를 해파리인줄 알고 먹어 죽는 영상 많이 봤는데 이곳이 딱 그럼. 마스터들도 다이빙중 손에 걸리는 비닐들은 건저 냈으면 좋겠는데 아무도 건저내지 않음. 이처럼 바다를 보호하지 않으면 언젠다 관광객들이 더 이상 오지 않을듯.

Good diving center with good staff.
They just need to plan better to separate the professional divers from the rest.
I went diving with this center for 4 days,2 days sipadan and 2 days another island.
Two of the best dive guides were Salim and Fire.
Sipadan was lovely and I would come back here again.

Wonderful day with Borneo Speedy Dive!

Went for a day trip with two dives in Sipadan and one in Mabul, and everything was great. From the organization, to the Dive Masters who are amazing people!
We were 9 divers on the boat, divided between 3 dive masters, which was perfect.
The center and dive masters are very professional, they speak good English, explain everything very clearly and always put safety first.
The dives were well briefed and they went so well, I enjoyed every minutes under and above the water!
Special big up to the captain of the boat who did a perfect ride over the waves.
Thank you to the whole team for this memorable experience! 🤗

We did our advanced open water PADI with Borneo Speedy Dive. We had a great time with Malik and Jimmy who were really friendly and excellent at teaching, they explained everything clearly

The way it works is you get on a boat (often with other divers/ snorkellers) at about 8am and then set off at around 9am for one of the islands. We did 3 dives on day 1 (and visited 2 different islands for the dives) and 3 dives on day 2 (similarly went to 2 different islands for these so saw 4 islands overall). We saw loads of tropical fish, a couple of wrecks, lots of turtles, some eels and rays it was amazing.

The visability was good and we went at the end of May, the water is so clear at some of the islands!!

Also they provide lunch (and do veggie options if you tell them in advance), and always felt 100% safe

Would recommend Borneo Speedy Dive if you are looking to do PADI
