OctoDiver by Ocean Elements

OctoDiver by Ocean Elements has been welcoming divers since 2005, when it began life as Ocean Elements Dive Centre. With more than 15 years in the scuba industry, its team of diving professionals shares one simple belief: that diving should be both safe and fun. The centre sits on Malaysia's Perhentian Islands, owned and managed by Octo Scuba & Services as a PADI Authorized Dive Centre.

Courses, sites and marine life

As a PADI Dive Center with 4 PADI instructors, OctoDiver is equipped with the latest PADI training tools and teaching methods, alongside First Aid (EFR) and conservation programmes. The waters stay consistently warm year-round, from 28°C to 30°C, so wetsuits are non-essential. Divers explore sites such as Shark Point, Batu Nisan Rock, D'Lagoon, Serenggeh, Batu Layar, Terembu Tiga, San Choi Wreck and the Perhentian Island Police Wreck.

Below the surface you may meet turtles, reef sharks and rays, with the chance of a whaleshark at Tokong Laut, an eagle ray at Terumbu Tiga, or a barracuda tornado at Kapal Polis. With an onsite classroom, accommodation, dive boat and equipment rental, it suits divers of every level.
