SMALL Group Diving !

We limit the amount of people we bring to our dive center everyday and do not overcrowd, this allows us to give personal attention to new divers and experienced divers alike.

We are island based - located less than 10 minutes by speedboat from central Kota Kinabalu. Nestled on Gaya Island - "Where Rain-forest meets Reef" we are surrounded by tropical ocean and virgin jungles.

All dive sites are just minutes from our paradise location so we return to the dive center after every dive which means non diving family and friends can also come along for the day !
