We did our advanced open water course with this shop. From the minute we walked up to the reception all of the friendly helpful staff completely took care of us. The course was explained thoroughly, with absolutely no pressure to sign up. They let us leave our bags to go take a look around accommodation and other shops. We didn't... More

The dive shop is very friendly, courteous and trained. They helped us get suited up and into the water after a few skill trainings, and we had a wonderful time with them. The instructor (John) was extremely helpful and showed us some amazing marine life. Of all the discover dives I've done, this was by far the best! Highly recommended... More

I did my advanced as well as rescue dive certification here. All instructors were very professional and safe. The equipment was thoroughly inspected and well maintained. The staff was helpful and honest when giving dive advice. Great place to learn to dive, fun dive, or just chill. Great restaurant right next door as well. More

A very professional yet chilled out, fun and friendly dive centre. The instructors and divemasters were very knowledgeable about the dive sites (always giving very detailed and interesting briefings) and were always looking out for us during the dives (I've been on many other dive holidays around the world and know this isn't always the case!). I brought my own... More

I fell in love with this dive shop- in fact I ended up skipping 2 days of work and missing a flight just to stay here a few extra days. The equipment is by far the best I've seen in SEAsia dive shops- new, in good condition, and fully stocked (usually I end up with something not quite the right... More

Last week my friends and I visited Pulau Perhentian for the first time. We have recently dived redang and tioman islands. Our experience in Perhentian is by far the best to date. On recommendation we dived with Turtle Bay Divers, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the safety briefings before each dive and the detailed briefing on... More

My family and I went for a diving trip in Perhentian Island from 1-3 Sept 2011. We booked the package during the Dive Expo in PWTC for 7 dives. The operator promised us a dive in Sugar Wreck for our family. When we asked about the dive in Sugar wreck on 2/9/2011, the operator said the current is too strong... More

Dear Kenny R, Thank you and yr family for diving with us on the 1 to 3 rd Sept. I am deeply Sorry that you felt cheated by us. I am well aware of the contributing factors and SAFETY reasons which led us to make a judgement call to NOT send you and your family to the Sugar wreck dive... More

My partner and I took a trip to Perhentian for some diving - me to do my AOWD course, and my partner to do some fun dives. Upon recommendation from a fellow diver friend, we went with Turtle Bay Divers. Their website did warn that August and September were high periods, so booking in advance for dives, but especially for... More

Decided to do my Padi Open Water Dive Cert in Perhentian Kecil after much research and trawling through the Net. And after many different recommendations from different friends, I decided to settle on Turtle Bay Divers, and boy, was it a great decision it turned out to be! I cannot recommend the people at Turtle Bay enough, from Mel, in... More

I am very pleased with the service offered by the entire crew (Yaakub, Joe, Travis, Maddie, Steve, Izwan). They were friendly and willing to assist in anything (Dive, accomodation, coffee, dinner, etc). Hats off to Yaakub for running a great shop in Perhentian. This is the first dive shop i have been where you are greeted back to the shop... More
