First and foremost, I would like to summarize Scuba Junkie ("SJ") as the best dive center I have been with since I first started diving. :) Prior to my arrival to Semporna, SJ has been very helpful with their correspondence via e-mail to my friend and I. It was our first time in Mabul and SJ has definitely made our... More

I arrived at Scuba Junkie at the end of November to start my divemaster course on 1 December. Even before I arrived, they (Kay) were very efficient at answering my queries by email. I moved out to Mabul whilst doing my divemaster training. The Dorm is really nice. Only 4 beds and your own bathroom. There was me and another... More

We stayed in Semporna and took day trips out to Mabul Island to dive with Scuba Junkie and we were impressed from the off. Friendly, professional staff who went out of their way to help. We has not dived for a while, so were completely in their hands, they insisted we did a refresher dive (which has not always been... More

(See review for Mabul Dive Resort for more information). This company was great answering emails (thanks Mike and Ali). They greeted us as we entered the shop and when we came to Mabul – always a good start. Staff are professional, friendly and know their marine life (I’ve dove with groups that didn’t have a clue what the name of... More

With arrival on Mabul everything went smoothly, especially the diving instructors did a very good job and schedules for theory and dives worked very well. My instructor was real fun and a very patient teacher. The diving school is really good value for your money and the diving locations on Mabul are awesome! More

I have used several dive operators over the years (including several in Asia on this trip) and Scuba Junkie stand out far and away as the best I have ever had. This is a very slick operation and the service was impeccable from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. My girlfriend and I hadn't dived for a... More

For all divers looking for a fantastic place to dive. SIPADAN ROCKS. We dived in April 2011 and had an awesome time. Scuba Junkie is an excellent dive centre to explore the area. Mabul island and Kapalai island offer awesome diving as well. We enjoyed our time tremendously. I can strongly recommend the are and SJ. More

We have dived all over the world, and have by far had one of the best experiences here at scuba junkie last december. Diving was out of this world, the dive staff were professional and safe throughout. The dive centre is well organized, and friendly. As for the resort, it's perfect for relaxing in the evenings on the balcony in... More

Mabul resort is very beautiful but we didn't feel safe on our trip. The dive master cared more about what he could see than the safety of the group. The dive master often swam off and left the group on their own, even when the composition of the group were less than experienced. Also there were many many boats near... More
