We booked our whole trip through Downbelow and Abigail was amazing! She booked our dive days plus accommodation plus day trip to see the orangutan sanctuary. She answered my million emails and was so courteous and prompt with replies , even when I asked about hairdryers! She even called us during our trip to check all was okay! We were... More

We are just the humble snorkelers. having done these a few times through se asia we were wary that these days often turn out to be overpacked, with a guide that really doesn't care, throws a rope out and pulls everyone back in at the end. This day was the complete opposite. A very professional and friendly team await you,... More

My wife and I visited KK recently and made a one-day reservation for Scuba and snorkeling. I had to cancel the initial date due to a migraine headache and Downbelow was very accommodating to reschedule. Very comfortable boats, they greeted us at the dock and again on the island. After a quick briefing, they fitted us with the gear and... More

I recently returned from a 2.5 week trip to Sabah, Borneo. I booked, via Downbelow, 2 different wildlife programs that took me to multiple places throughout Sabah, as well as my PADI Open Water Diver course in Kota Kinabalu. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this company! Starting from my original email enquiries, during my travel, and... More

We made a one day trip to Gaya Island from Rasa Ria Hotel in KK. Although we had contacted Downbelow directly, the booking and payment actually went via the hotel as they are partners with this hotel. We were collected promptly from the hotel and driven to the Marina in KK where we transferred to a covered boat for the... More

There's a reason Dive Downbelow is number 1 - they really are awesome! We booked two day trips with them: a snorkelling day at Pulau Gaya and a visit to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation and Rainforest Discovery Centres. Right from the start, their service and advice was brilliant. The pre-trip emails we received from our consultant, Abigail, were always prompt,... More

I was initially apprehensive about doing an Open Water Dive Course, however with Downbelow it became one of most wonderful experiences of a lifetime. Not just a personal achievement, but to share it with my husband and 11 year old daughter made it a very special family moment. The departure from Sutera Harbour is relaxed as is the 5 min... More

I keep coming back.  There are so many choices when it comes to dive trips in south east Asia, but I manage to find myself back on Gaya Island at least once a year.  As you can read in my previous reviews, the setting is beautiful and the diving is fun and unique, especially if you appreciate guided dives with...

I went to Downbelow to qualify for PADI open water and climbing the Mt. Kinabalu. They just made all of the trips very fantastic. Flexible trip arrangement just made the time schedule very suitable for us.
