Semporna Aqua Planet Travel & Tours

Semporna Aqua Planet Travel & Tours is a PADI 5 Star IDC dive centre based in Semporna, Malaysia, offering a full range of PADI courses for divers of every level — from first-timers to seasoned enthusiasts. Its team of four PADI instructors focuses on safe, thorough training, and between them the centre speaks five languages, including English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Malay.

Courses and diving

Beyond recreational scuba, the centre runs PADI Freediving, Mermaid, Snorkelling and EFR First Aid programmes, along with conservation activities for divers who want to give back to the reef. Sitting amid the islands of Mabul, Kapalai, Pom Pom and Mataking, it opens up dozens of dive sites, including Coral Hills, Stingray City, Turtle Playground, Nudibranch Heaven, the Mataking Wreck Post and Garden Of Eden.

On land you'll find an onsite classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a retail shop, all in a waterfront location. Air fills, equipment sales and rental — including kids' gear — round out the setup, making it a solid base for anyone diving Semporna's islands.
