Mussah Poteh Holiday SDN BHD

Tucked into the Semporna seafront in Malaysia, Mussah Poteh Holiday is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort with a team of 10 PADI instructors. With a house reef right on the doorstep, a dive boat for venturing further afield, and food and drinks on hand, it's set up for divers who want a steady base to learn, build skills, and keep diving.

Courses and diving

The centre runs the full PADI pathway, from the Open Water Course through Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver and Divemaster. Specialty training is on offer too, including Enriched Air (Nitrox), Deep Dive, Wreck and Oxygen Provider, alongside snorkelling and EFR first aid courses.

Out on the water, the Bay Watch dive site sits among Semporna's reefs, where sightings can include sharks, turtles, ocean fish, rays and other marine life. With staff speaking English, Mandarin, Malay and Chinese, it suits an international mix of divers, from first-timers earning their certification to those advancing toward professional ratings.
