PADI Certified Diving Courses in Borneo

Borneo's coastline and reefs have a lot to offer. In fact, just recently a group of scientists in Malaysia, the United States, and the Netherlands discovered very rich marine life in Borneo coral reefs. However, Borneo's diverse marine life is not just for scientists and researchers to appreciate; diving enthusiasts will surely fall in love with Borneo's reefs as well. If you, however, do not have experience in diving and you want to see Borneo's underwater sceneries, do not worry as there are dive centers that offer diving courses in Borneo.
