Dagelijks Vrijetijdsduiken en Fun Dives in Kota Kinabalu
Geniet van een aantal ontspannende vrijetijdsduiken/funduiken in Kota Kinabalu met het Borneo Dream Team. Al onze dagelijkse lokale vrijetijdsduiken en plezierduiken vinden plaats in het Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP). Duiken rond Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP) is een ideale duiktrip voor duikers die op zoek zijn naar ontspannen duiken langs mooie tropische koraalriffen. Het duiken rond TARP is geschikt voor beginners tot ervaren vrijetijdsduikers en biedt voor elk wat wils. Ga met ons mee op een Kota Kinabalu Scuba Diving dagtrip en laat ons je ons lokale onderwaterpark laten zien terwijl je drie duiken maakt – twee voor de lunch en één erna.
Tijdens je Kota Kinabalu vrijetijdsduik/funduikreis naar Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park met Borneo Dream nemen we je mee naar een aantal van de 25 duikstekken die we hebben geïdentificeerd rond de vijf idyllische eilanden in TARP Marine Park – Pulau Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik, Manukan en Sulug. We gaan ook duiken in de diepere, prachtige koraalriffen bij Edgell Patches, net buiten het Marine Park. De duiken variëren in diepte van 5m tot 25m en hebben over het algemeen weinig of geen stroming en goed zicht. De watertemperatuur ligt meestal rond de 28 tot 30C, maar in februari en maart kan het dalen tot ongeveer 25 tot 27C – Het plaatselijke mariene park is ideaal voor alle duikers die vrijetijdsduiken/funduiken willen maken in een veilige omgeving.
#1. Keuze voor uw vrijetijdsduikreis in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah | Borneo Dream
Borneo Dream was mijn eerste keuze voor een recreatieve duiktrip in Kota Kinabalu, en ze stelden niet teleur! 🌊🐠 Door hun uitzonderlijke reputatie, professionele team en toewijding aan veiligheid vielen ze op. Vanaf het moment dat ik navraag deed, was hun klantenservice top – snelle reacties, duidelijke communicatie en een oprechte passie voor duiken.
Hun duiktrips naar het Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TARP) waren goed georganiseerd en boden adembenemende onderwaterlandschappen, levendige koraalriffen en een gevarieerd onderwaterleven. 🐢🦑 Ik voelde me op mijn gemak omdat ik wist dat hun ervaren RAID-gecertificeerde instructeurs prioriteit gaven aan veiligheid en tegelijkertijd zorgden voor een leuke en ontspannen ervaring. Of je nu een beginner of een gevorderde duiker bent, ze zijn er voor alle niveaus en bieden uitrusting van topkwaliteit en deskundige begeleiding.
Een andere belangrijke reden waarom ik voor Borneo Dream heb gekozen is hun toewijding aan duurzaamheid. 🌱 Ze promoten verantwoorde duikpraktijken om mariene ecosystemen te beschermen, wat aansluit bij mijn waarden als eco-bewuste reiziger.
De kleine groepen zorgden voor een meer persoonlijke ervaring, waardoor ik echt kon genieten van de schoonheid van de wateren van Sabah. Als je op zoek bent naar een onvergetelijk duikavontuur in Kota Kinabalu, dan moet je bij Borneo Dream zijn! 💙🌊 #BorneoDream #ScubaDivingKK #TARP #EcoDiving #UnderwaterAdventure

I did 3 dives with Alex (instructor) and Azim (boat driver) They were both excellent. I felt entirely safe in their hands. We saw lots of fish – black-tip reef sharks, a Hawksbill turtle, giant carpet anemones, an electric clam (emitting blue current), rays, a strange ring of bubbles which is apparently a siphonophore, and tiny lobsters who gave me a manicure.

Hi. My dad and I went on a 1 day introductory course on our short family holiday in Malaysia. I had never dived before so was super nervous, however he wanted to do it so I signed up too. In the end there was nothing to be nervous about, we were safe and it was fun, literally the highlight of the trip! :). Our instructor (Alex) was super nice and showed us a bunch of cool sea creatures with his light and little rods. I was so sad when it ended. 100% recommend it.

10/10 would recommend
We had so much fun on our 3 fun dives. The professionalism and guidance shown by our dive leader Esther was excellent from the registration, to the briefings, to providing feedback through a debrief which really made all the difference.
Everything was well organized, the boat was very well equipped, Zul the boatman was very friendly, accommodating and helpful and the entire team took extra initiative to guide and show us things underwater. A trip we will remember for a long time and will definitely not be the last! – May 2021

Review of: Leisure Diving, 3 Dives at Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park in Kota Kinabalu
Such an awesome day together! We had an enjoyable and fun diving experience, all thanks to our instructor Mr Basir Turabin. He’s great at finding awesome/ unique sea-creature spots. His experience also helps to improve our diving skills. Thank you! – May 2021
Andrew Evans –
Had an absolutely class time today, your two blokes “Basir & Jason” are absolutely brilliant, thanks so much, wish I was going again in the morning.

Great SCUBA Diving – My travel buddy and I booked a dive around Gaya island with Borneo Dream.
First, let’s start with the booking process. You give them a time and they respond quickly on availability. Then you are expected to pay upfront to book a specific time. Throughout the booking process, they were very accommodating. They allowed us to change our reservation last minute due to an illness and they were flexible with the payment. So a good start.
Meetup at Jesselton point involved hunting for the Borneo dream divemaster. I saw them sitting at a table and I was met with a friendly greeting. The paperwork was fast and efficient, and we were led to the boat at the scheduled departure time.
The boat was very nice. It has a bathroom and a small closet area to store your stuff and where you can change your clothes. The captain was nice and they blasted awesome music on the ride.
I rented SCUBA equipment and the equipment they had was of good quality. I did not have any equipment issues.
The divemaster we had was Basir and he was awesome. He was friendly, funny, and very competent divemaster. I had less than 10 dives coming in and he helped me find a perfect weight for the weight belt. I now know what to use in the future. He also is a master at spotting wildlife. Lastly, he was very patient and made sure to choose dive sites and routes according to our experience. We felt very comfortable.
We did 3 dives and had a lot of fun. The crew was great. I highly recommend them for your SCUBA diving needs in Borneo.

Just AMAZING! – The crews were so nice and awesome. I had a such a good time. They are professional and very humorous. Excellent!!
Eirlys T Machynlleth, United Kingdom (TripAdvisor) –
Amazing scuba diving experience! – We were on our honeymoon and had been diving a couple of times before so we were hoping for a good experience. We had a very friendly diving guide called Baz, he was excellent! They were very thorough when explaining and we felt in safe hands! We had two excellent dives where we saw much different fish and coral and even two sharks! We were allowed to be quite independent which we loved, but Baz was always keeping an eye! He showed us many wonderful underwater creatures! We were down for about 45 mins and up to about 13/15 m. Overall a fantastic day and would really recommend to anyone from a first-time diver to a PADI refresher!
Roman S (TripAdvisor) –
Perfect Dive Trip – I did 3 Fun-Dives with Borneo Dream and would totally recommend it. Very good organized, perfect facilities and very friendly people! And the price is reasonable as well.
Alfeen Singapore (TripAdvisor) –
Still the best – This is my second review for Borneo Dream, did nitrox and fun dive this time around. And once again never fail to put smiles on our face.
Our instructor Luke, did a good job explaining and keeping us comfortable. In fact all the crews were really friendly, and helpful. 2 days after the dive trip when we were back at our home country, we received an email from Joanne, the director to congratulate us on becoming enriched air certified and also to share feedback about the dive site and also the marine life that we saw. That really makes our day, especially when you are combating post diving/vacation depression. There will definitely be more dive trips with Borneo Dream.
However, try to avoid rainy season and international school holiday, other than that all is great.

Scuba – We stayed at Gaya Island Resort and used Borneo Dream Travel for three days of diving for my son and me who are both BSAC Sports Divers and a PADI Junior Open Water course for my youngest Son. Firstly and most importantly these guys know what they are doing…..they are well prepared, well trained, have a good boat and equipment and find the right balance to be serious enough on safety but making the day fun. The Open Water course was first class and the guiding on general dives was excellent……we saw so much good stuff. Thanks to Sabri, Basir and Azul for making our trip so great.
Lotus_Khoo, KL (TripAdvisor) –
Enjoyable leisure diving – Had a lovely time diving with Borneo Dream. Well organised and very convenient dive spot in KK where there are lots to do after they drop u back at the jetty. Special thanks to dive master Jason for being patient, reassuring and coming to our rescue many times. Held back on giving a 5 star only because on one of the dives thought we spent too much time at one place looking for a seahorse with too many people in a small area because of low visibility. Having said that would still dive with Borneo Dream again of course if I’m ever in KK again.
Ola –
Thank you for a very pleasant and enjoyable day of diving. Fantastic crew, high class professionalism. Special thanks to Amir for perfect, friendly and pedagogic guidance. Having been without diving for three years due to medical reasons it was very comforting to get the well leveled guidance and attention allowing me to fully enjoy it and making sure I can go back into water again. See you again.
Amr –
Thank you Borneo Dream team for the amazing diving trip and river cruise trip you are the best.
Also i purchased some diving gear and the quality is very good. The team is very well trained and experienced, the diving sites incredible and we were very lucky to see green sea turtle for the first time. Simply it’s unforgettable trip.
Urs F., Switzerland –
This was my second stay on Gaya Island, and one of the reasons to come back was the wonderful experience with the Borneo Dream diving team. This year I did two days with three dives each, and both trips were well organized and made for relaxing and fun diving. Unlike other places I have been to, the groups are kept small and the dive guides make you feel welcome the moment you step on the boat, and show you how much they love their job. All in all a great experience, and definitely planning to come back sometime.
Dominik&Daniela –
The trip was very well organized, the equipment was good and the staff is friendly and competent. We joined in for two days and we’ll definitly do it again. Highly recommended
Kristine –
In connection with our recent stay in Gaya Island Resort we went diving 2 of the days with Borneo Dream. Since it had been 5 years since my last dive I was a bit rusty on my skills. Luckily that was not a problem at all since both we had very experienced, friendly and patient diving instructors in Basir and Amir. They took the time to brush up on all the safety exercises etc which made me feel very safe and comfortable during our 5 dives. If we come back to this area we would not hesitate to go diving with these guys again – can highly recommend. Thank you for some very good, safe and comfortable dives 🙂
Maria Safonova –
Infrastructure during diving was good, lunch tasty, boat was comportable, marine life which was shown to us by instructors was rich.
Kristin Ng –
The service from Borneo was great. Instructions from the team was very clear and i have an ease of mind.
Maria Tullberg –
The first day we were on Elvis and that is the nicest dive boat we’ve ever been on! Divemaster (Basir?) was amazing and went out of his way to tell our sons about the fish and coral we encountered. The captains (we had different captains for the different days) were all professional and attentive. The whole experience was great!
John Tan Poh Soon –
Instructor and coxswain were patient and helpful. Thank you for a great Day J
Luk Hang Ying Jasmine, HK –
There were many aspects of the diving trips that we liked a lot. Our diving instructors, Rebecca and Eugene were very professional and friendly. They ensured we performed the safety procedures before diving and were very attentive during the dive. The staff on the boats and counter were also very friendly and informative. The service was excellent. The boat and gears felt very spacious, new and clean too.
Ahmad Rizal Bin Ramlan, MY –
The service was good and the boat was comfortable. Having fun on the boat and great dive
Amanda Fleming, Australia –
The experience we had with Borneo Dream was outstanding. They are extremely professional and safe. Service and friendliness is amazing. We had both Eugene and Richard on different days. Both need to be commended. Thanks for everything.
