Sunshine Snorkeling Timor Resort

Set on a waterfront site in Dili, Timor-Leste, Sunshine Snorkeling Timor Resort is the only diving resort in the country offering service in both English and Mandarin. Backed by 16 years of professional diving experience, it brings together food, lodging and diving under one roof — with a brand-new guest room and restaurant completed in 2022 for a true home-away-from-home stay.

Courses and what to expect

As a PADI Resort with 2 PADI Instructors, the centre runs PADI Scuba Diving, Freediving, Snorkelling and First Aid (EFR) programmes, alongside Conservation activities. An onsite training pool, classroom and deep pool make it well suited to beginners and those building confidence before heading out on the dive boat.

Air fills, Nitrox, and scuba and freediving equipment rental round out the services, while waters here are home to sharks, whales, turtles, rays and ocean fish. With air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, onsite accommodation and dining, it's a comfortable base for divers exploring East Timor.
