Today, I would like to introduce you to a world-class diving spot that every scuba diver must visit at least once in their lifetime.

This trip included my children and partner. While they did not participate in diving, there were ample opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment.

This review covers a lengthy trip, starting in Bangkok and traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Tawau, Semporna, Mabul, and Sipadan Island.

Malaysia Airlines: Premium Flights at Affordable Prices

This text recommends Malaysia Airlines for budget-friendly premium flights. The author booked a roundtrip ticket with luggage included for around 8,000 baht, which allowed them to fly four times.

For accommodation, the author suggests Borneo Divers Mabul Resort. They acknowledge that many people might wonder why they didn't choose Sipadan-Mabul Water Village (SWV), which offers overwater bungalows with stunning views. The author explains that while they have visited SWV seven times, they find it lacks activities for non-divers, making it a bit boring. Therefore, they decided to try a different resort this time.

Expenses for this trip

This is a Thai sentence that translates to:

"Flight tickets 7000-9000 baht"

This is a Thai sentence that translates to:

  • Scuba diving trip: 32,900 baht
  • Non-diving trip: 25,900 baht

Is there anything else I can help you with?

  • Food and shopping expenses during the trip: 3,000 baht.

The first day, we departed at 5 am from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Kuala Lumpur. We waited for a connecting flight to Tawau, arriving at 5:30 pm. A van picked us up and took us to our hotel. We stayed in Tawau for the first day and had dinner there. For those who love the brand Yuzaline, I recommend shopping here as it is 30-50% cheaper than in Thailand.

Day 2: From Tawau to Semporna to Mabul Island

A van will pick you up and take you on a 2-hour journey to Semporna. Upon arrival at the port, you will board a boat for a 45-minute ride to Mabul Island. While the journey may seem long, trust me, it's worth it!

Mabul Island is a paradise for divers. You will be able to go diving three times a day, except if you are diving with a Dive Master or have sufficient experience. In that case, you can dive independently near the resort, with no restrictions. Just remember to check your dive computer's D.com time for your surface interval.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.
