Great to learn diving with Borneo Dream! – My boyfriend purchased the course online. Four days were required altogether. Esther was the best instructor I have ever met. She, together with all other crew members, were so nice and energetic, helpful and patient, and on top of those, very professional. I got sea sick due to bad weather on the first day, but Esther didn’t give up on me. “Don’t give up. Come back tomorrow and be stronger, OK?” We managed to catch up with the schedule and finally made it to our PADI OW license. Esther could teach in Chinese Mandarin, Chinese Cantonese, English, and of course, Malaysian. Remember to request an instructor who could speak your language when purchasing the course. Hope everyone will enjoy the underwater world starting from Borneo Dream!

Good team that will help you with your diving! – Did the PADI Open Water Diver course at Gaya Island Resort with Borneo Dream and it was well-worth the money and time spent. Gained loads of information and tips from instructor, Amir Tenden who was incredibly patient with me during my 3-day course. Would definitely recommend and dive with you guys in the near future!

The PADI eLearning Open Water was perfect for our family, giving us more freedom on holiday to enjoy the diving. The instruction was the best and other divers should look no where else.
