Timba-Timba, Mataking e Ilha Pom Pom Descubra o mergulho autônomo em Semporna

It was 2/4/2025, the third day of Hari Raya. We thoroughly enjoyed the superb and excellent guidance from the instructors. Thank you Max, Jamie, Cikgu, Zul, Suhaimi, and Ni Hau🤭. Thank you for your support towards me, an aunt who is afraid of water. My first attempt failed, BUT on the second dive, I managed to do it and take a family picture. It was our good fortune to see a group of dolphins. Thank you again from us, Fatin Uden, Auntie Zila, and Uncle Jam. Unforgettable memories for our family. Highly recommended!!❤️

I was a bit impatient in the morning due to the one-hour delay in setting sail, but during the dive, instructors Jon and Jamie, along with Chinese tour guide Max, were incredibly patient with us. They constantly checked on our physical condition and encouraged beginners who were hesitant to try. When diving, remembering the three tips taught by the instructors made the dive very smooth. Although the weather was bad with strong winds and heavy rain, the instructors and guide made sure we had a great time. This trip was truly worth it! 👍👍👍

It was a wonderful experience and we had a such a great time. For people who don't speak the local language, Jon and Max should be your go to people. They are really great guides and will help you understand everything smoothly and calmy. Other crew members were really sweet and friendly! would surely recommend people to go ahead with this package. worth every penny ;)

We did our first ever scuba dive here. Jeffrey, Jack and Jason were very kind and made our day. They gave us a feeling of safety which was nice! We also saw a lot of fish and some sea turtles! In between the dives you also have time to relax and see the beautiful beaches.

It was a truly fulfilling tour. My first ever diving experience, and I must say it felt very safe, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The guide was highly professional and led us exceptionally well during the dive. The boat trip to Timba Timba Island from the public jetty takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Be ready for extended boat journeys. We dived at Mataking and Timba Timba Island. Each dive lasted about 5-10 minutes, which is quite brief, but sufficient to observe the marine wildlife. There were around 12 of us on board in total, so the guide had to rotate, taking a maximum of 2 people to dive at a time. The lunch was rather mediocre. Barely enough to feel full, but you can purchase cup noodles on Mataking Island. Additionally, the Sea Gypsies will approach you on the island hoping to sell coconuts. They are generally friendly. I paid 50 MYR for them to take videos and pictures of me diving. I would say it's worth it, considering there was no limit to the photos! Advice for travelers: - Bring plenty of sunblock as it can get extremely hot and sunny. - Do not panic during the dive; remain calm and follow the guide's instructions. - Be sure to constantly equalize ear pressure when descending and ascending during the dive. Speak up if you feel uncomfortable. - Be prepared for long boat rides. Bring seasickness medication if you are prone to motion sickness.

My first scuba diving experience was fantastic, thanks to instructor Max Yeung's meticulous, clear, and easy-to-understand guidance. Another staff member assisted with photography underwater. We spent 10 minutes each at Timba Timba and Mataking Islands, and the entire trip was safe and reliable. It was cloudy at the pier when we departed, but fortunately, the weather gradually cleared up as we approached the islands, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. Taking photos on Timba Timba Island, with its blue skies, small island, sunshine, and clear waters, was incredibly beautiful and therapeutic. Remember to apply plenty of sunscreen! On the return journey, we stopped at both Dragon Inn Jetty and Jeti Pelacong Jetty, which was very convenient.

The weather was perfect, making us incredibly happy! The diving instructor was very responsible and ensured my parents, who are in their fifties, were safe. They even helped me rent prescription diving goggles on short notice that day. The 50 MYR photography service was absolutely worth it; the photographer constantly guided our poses and took many pictures. We even encountered a blue mackerel storm! That evening, we received so many photos and videos!

I contacted the dive shop the day before departure, and they informed me that the meeting time and location were quite different from what was listed on KLOOK. After checking in and filling out the diving information, we departed for the dive.

Adding RM50 for unlimited photos and videos feels very worthwhile. Thank you, Coach Jason, for patiently teaching the diving techniques. #YongShengTravel #YunShengTravel #

First time experiencing scuba diving, saw two sea turtles, they were so cute, and also saw many fish, big and small. The staff were very friendly and played along with us, creating a great atmosphere.
