Addy Ted2024-06-30Had a short trip with friends on the weekend. The weather is perfect, the ocean is crystal clear, the checkpoint just impressively beautiful and of course, with the friendly dive masters and catamaran crew? Love it! My first time snorkeling and of course, will come again for diving program with them.

Shawn Zod2024-06-24I recently experienced scuba diving for the first time, and it was like discovering a whole new world. The underwater scenery, with its vibrant corals and diverse marine life, deepened my appreciation for nature. A big thank you to YBD Dive Centre for their outstanding service, and a special shout-out to my diving instructor, Joshua, for boosting my confidence and making the experience truly enjoyable.
Джонатан2024-06-24Aloha! Had an amazing week with YBD team! I contacted a variety of dive centres and am very delighted to go with YBD. They are a well-established professional outfit. Jinn responded to my initial inquiry with all the info I needed to plan the trip from overseas! The dive equipment provided was in Brand new yet great condition and well maintained. The crews(YBD + Oriental Sea) I encountered were professional, experienced, good-humoured, and patient... Mian is an extraordinary diving instructor... very knowledgeable, passionate, resilient, agile and friendly, making great dive trips. Mian's also delighted to discuss dive techniques in more detail during the surface intervals. To enlighten the divers for better dives. AWESOME Dives with these guys - DUSTED! A week of Catamaran dives! Look forward to the next dive trip with YBD again! Once again thank & appreciate Jinn and the team. Cheers!
Shivan Nair Krishnan Unni2024-06-21A fabulous place to commence your diving journey. I was impressed with the safety standards, quality of equipment and contingency arrangements. Good value and will return soon. Friendly staff and genuinely interested in elevating the divers’ skill. Fully recommended for those with children as they have a pool to develop confidence in first timers before going out to sea. Keep up the good work YBD!
Jun Kun Yap2024-06-18Fabulous dive center with friendly staff. Excellent service throughout. Top notched facilities. Elevated my dive experience to the next level. An even more impressive and luxurious catamaran. Will definitely be diving with them again!
Rls Y2024-06-18Everything was spanking new, from the diving gears to the dive boat. The team tries to bring us to sites according to our requests. Jin, Mian, Susie, Cole were great diving guides and the boat crew are attentive and friendly to our needs. Just hope that maybe in the future divers and snorkelers can be separated!
Esther Tai2024-06-07We strongly recommend YBD dive center. They are very professional and their equipments are new. We had unpleasant experience with Marriott resort but this YBD dive center totally changed our feeling to the place. We had fun dives as well as kids were able to visit D lagoon beach for their activities. Their hospitality and facilities are top notch. We were well taken care by the staff throughout the diving journey 👍
Anuj Mishra2024-06-06YBD at Marriott, Perhentian has wonderful staff and great snorkel and dive instructors. My kids and I took our first ever dive lesson in their pool at the dive center. Dannie, our instructor was wonderful and very patient. They took us out on several snorkel and dive trips out on various islands! Their boats and gears ar so new and their support staff is incredible! Highly recommended, we will return for ou dive certification soon.
