Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a dive centre in Kota Kinabalu?
Check which certification agencies the centre teaches (such as PADI or SSI), the instructor-to-student ratio, what is included in the price, the condition of rental equipment and how recently the listing was verified. Ask whether open-water dives take place locally or on a trip.
Do I need a certification to dive in Kota Kinabalu?

Sabah can be dived year-round, though sea conditions vary through the year. Ask the centre about conditions for your dates.
