I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for my Instructor DIN (Encik) 😉 and Dive Master KEN hard work and dedication during my PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
course. Your guidance and expertise were invaluable in helping me to become a better diver and to achieve my certification.
I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into creating a safe and enjoyable learning environment, and for always being there to answer my questions and offer feedback. Your passion for diving is contagious, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from such knowledgeable and experienced professionals.
Thank you again for all that you have done for me. I am excited to continue my diving journey and look forward to staying in touch with THE DIVE COMPANY.

I took the Open Water certification in Singapore Pulau Hantu as my first diving experience. Rafi explained everything slowly and clearly to make sure that everyone is feeling comfortable. Always in a good mood as well!

I was on a dive trip with The Dive Company in the week-end 6-8 September, roundtrip from Singapore to Tioman Island in Malaysia. In summary, a great trip all together, with fantastic diving in (mostly) clear waters. All arrangements very smooth and timely, although logistics with clearing customs and long time for transport both ways made it feel a bit rushed for the diving execution. Rather short time at the island with very busy diving schedule, still we achieved 6 dives incl 1 night dive within 20 hours! But this is the nature of such a trip, and I am certainly very happy to have joined this tour. Our tour- and diving guide, Din, did a great job, on-land and under water. So very thankful for his performance. We were a small group for this trip, and thus we got all the attention and support needed, or more. I can certainly recommend The Dive Company for any diver at any certification level, or surely for courses and further certification as well (what I sensed). Myself I am CMAS *** certified (equals PADI Rescue Diver certification),although a little rusty as last diving was 2.5 years ago, and really felt well accepted and taken care of. All in all, a great trip and well recommended.
Not really anything to pick at, just that divers going on such a trip needs to be well motivated and prepared for the transport part of the trip.

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We're thrilled you had a fantastic time diving with us in Tioman. It's great to know that Din provided you with excellent guidance both on land and underwater and that you enjoyed the experience despite the fast-paced schedule.
We understand the transport logistics between Singapore and Tioman can be challenging, but we always strive to make the diving experience worth the journey. Your feedback helps us improve, and we'll refine our trips to ensure a smoother and even more relaxed experience for future guests.
We appreciate your kind words about the personalized attention you received, and we're glad you felt supported throughout the weekend. It's wonderful to hear that even after a break from diving, you felt comfortable and well taken care of.
We look forward to having you dive with us again soon, whether for more adventures in Tioman or perhaps another exciting destination!

I got the PADI certificate with them and I cannot recommend highly enough this company. They are both professional/efficient and fun/down to earth. From the evening practicing in the pool in SG to the weekend in Tioman the whole experience was really great/faultless - a particular shout out to Rafi!

Rafi had previously organised and ran my Open Water Certification course at Pulau Hantu in January 2022 and the instruction was excellent (even though the visibility was challenging!) so I decided to move to my Advanced Open Water course and went to Tioman islands with Jin and John Waters as the Instructor and Dive Master. The whole weekend was organised excellently and both were very helpful. Everything ran super smoothly and even our dive skipper was very helpful and attentive. I would totally recommend!

I had an incredible experience with The Dive Company. Rafi, Ken, and Shaun created a truly wonderful programme for us during our Open Dive Cert. I was nervous going into diving and the leaders made us feel so calm, safe, and confident. The trip went better than we could have expected, with perfect weather, great visibility, some incredible under water sightings, and strong skills training and growth. I could not recommend this company more, and hope to go on another dive with them again soon!

Would definitely recommend The Dive Company for your diving learning or experiences. Felt super safe and comfortable on my open water course; Rafi was a really calm, patient, and knowledgeable instructor with a fantastic sense of humour. Had a great time learning and will continue my diving development with The Dive Company when able to! 👍🏼

Did my open water and then my leisure trip with TDC. Also sent my nephew for a DSD with them.
I went to tioman twice, for Open water & leisure. both time was enjoyable, enriching and all great. Registration & arrangement process was hassle free as I did not have to do anything, everything is arranged and communicated to me.
As a beginner, I am naturally afraid of being in deep waters, but Instructor Din, yusri, Ken, rafi, being the best instructors they are, have encouraged me and took care of me well. They never left my side and constantly check up on my condition prior to and after the dive. They will provide feedback on how I can improve my techniques, and they will monitor how I am on and under the water.
People from TDC are fun and helpful.
I am already planning to come back for my advanced open water and all subsequent courses with TDC. Learn from the best, to be the best.
10000/10 will recommend.

As always you r Never disappointed by going with The Dive Company!
Enjoyable, safe, flexible (esp. when my DIN-yoke adapter disappeared from my dive bag…it’s ok I found it at home) and fun banter always.
With Rafi the Course Director at the helm, Ken the CTO/COO/CFO and Ben (1 of many culturally diverse instructors/divemasters), you can’t go wrong with accompanying them on courses or overseas dive trips.
Anywho, I’m planning to schedule an overseas dive trip with my best friends, diver and snorkeler, in the near future with The Dive Company so watch out! Us trio r abit crazy😉

Great weekend diving with my 10 year old son, who was doing his open water. Rafi took time and ensured that he followed along with what he needed to do, and that any initial nerves were put to rest.
Due to hearing difficulties, my son requires an extra bit of time to ensure messages are communicated, but this was never an issue - patience were in abundance!
Following the weekend it was all smiles and we definitely plan to return.
