May 2023, Sep 2023 and I'll be back in Dec 2023 again because of the amazing experience with SMC team. An Ng is incredible in spotting tiny (and rare!) critters. Love her huge passion for these tiny creatures.

She is a sea slug walking encyclopedia. Seriously, ask her anything!

Really enjoyed diving at her newly discovered dive sites where we can have it all to ourselves and take all the time in the world (or maybe within NDL) to shoot.

I went to Semporna for my AOW course in October 2023, joined SMC for one day fun dive (4 dives), learnt so much from An and fellow divers onboard, An spotted so many tiny nudibranch and other macro that I haven't seen before!

I will definitely plan another trip in the future to Semporna for macro dive with SMC.

It’s been 4 amazing days of underwater -Macro lover like us. An perfectly arranged everything. Kenji and all staff on boat very helpful and kind. The most important thing is Sampona area are surprisingly rich of nudibranches. You can find everything anything you wish to see and shoot in very good condition of water. I totally recommend this dive shop. If you are a nudibranches lover. You really can not miss. We definitely come again.

Dived with SMC just this September 2023 and it was 20+ dives of pure joy.
SMC Dive Centre provides very good services like pick up from nearby accommodations (SMC accommodation wasn’t ready yet in Sept), a brand new boat, great DM (An Ng) and a superb boat captain (Lan). They also provide yummy lunch and snacks in between dives from local food sellers.
Have dived with An Ng in Tioman many times, and this was my first time diving with her in Semporna. She is an incredible DM & spotter for incredibly microscopic sea creatures like nudibranch, and her knowledge of these sea creatures are encyclopaedic. She is also familiar with the dives sites around Semporna and even some new ones which she discovered herself. I am looking forward to going back to dive with SMC in January 2024! Another 8-9 days of diving to look forward to.
A big thank you to SMC Dive Centre & An!

Well spent 3 days diving with super chill spotter, An & her team.
You would be wooed by her super razor sharp eyesight on tiny critters plus a walking nudi encyclopedia!

SMC is a true gem for macro lovers, we enjoyed every dive thanks to An, her enthusiasm, passion, professionalism, and ability to spot various special nudis and critters all the more makes SMC a top spot.

Made 3 dive trips with smc within half year.. you can imagine how much I love it. Here I'd never get bored nor disappointed, only filled with countless surprises and amazed by the capability of An & smc and the abundance of life & critters in our underwater world. Especially love the way how An share her passion & knowledge.. J'adore🩷
