At the time of writing plans are for the relocation to Mabul of Borneo Divers' recompression chamber. There may also in the future be a re-compression chamber stationed on Sipadan itself. Alternatively, guests may be evacuated to the chamber in Semporna, Sabah.
We strongly advise any diving guests to have their own insurance to cover scuba emergencies, evacuations and treatments. See our insurance programme for our recommended holiday insurance that includes cancellation cover and diving accidents.
All the dive boats carry oxygen, and a dive master is provided for every six guests.
For non-diving emergencies there is a hospital in Semporna - 40 minutes by speedboat, or a small clinic on the island.
A safety box is provided in Reception for your valuables and 24 hour security patrol the premises. There is a marine police station next door.
"The training delivered by Borneo Divers was really perfect at all stages. Very nice and professional staff (our instructor Marylin was really dedicated). The location also was really adapted to our level (beginners). The equipment was adapted and in good conditions when not new (also quite a wide choice). We would highly recommend this company in the future and use the services again in the places they are set." - Sylvie Neves-Strunc, Czech Republic ...
