Package includes all food and stay at Laguna bungalows: a/c rooms, twinshare with attached baths. The facilities are clean & basic (read: no phones and room service!), 5 min walk from the diveshop. 15 SPECTACULAR dives, professional staff, white sandy beaches...

Planned trip: 28th Nov - 4th Dec 2005. Was Weh affected by the recent tsunami? Sadly yes, but this is also when they need our support. So much has been lost, and they need our faith - and business- to rebuild. Write to us if you'd like the true story, the recovery efforts led by Ton & Marjan and much more...

The Nov 2005 trip is just RM3,250 including FLIGHTS, full board, 13 boat + 2 night dives, BCD, reg, dive weights and tanks in a lost paradise...

- Gear does NOT include wetsuit so its best to get your own. Water temperature is roughly 30 degrees so we jump in our Radiator™ heatsuits and shorts, and only put on wetsuits for nightdives...

Optional: The PADI Advanced Course & Underwater Photography Specialty are RM350 each. Ask for our Group (3 or more) discounts!!

* Both the Shark and Wreck dives are optional. There is a surcharge of RM30 for the shark dives at Batee Tokong & Sharks Plateau (min. of 6 divers) to cover additional fuel to this remote area.
Another RM30 covers the additional tank to dive the Sophie Rickmers wreck @ 50m (its a 2-tank dive!) & safety stop. If you're not comfortable diving deep or with sharks, there are the normal dives we have every day and night!


"David and I just wanted to say thanks for a fabulous long weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and came home feeling quite weary from all the sea air and exercise (for David!), but happy :-) You are very very good at what you do and your leadership certainly added to the enjoyment of the trip. Looking forward to our catch-up! Cheers -

"Reeza was our Mother Hen - repairing cameras, organising our dives and making sure we saw the best that Sipadan and Mabul had to offer. By our last night on Sipadan, everyone wanted to be part of our small, exclusive group - "Reeza's Babes"!!. Started as strangers, and left as friends.. Thanks Skinny Brown One!"

"The best part was breathing underwater. I didn't feel afraid because the water wasn't deep and everyone was around. At first I wasn't comfortable but my teacher (Reeza) let me try it out again and again until it was all right. I don't swim very well and this is the first time I have worn a proper swimsuit but it was fun!"
