Anti Gravity Divers - Perhentian Islands
The team at Anti Gravity Divers are a Perhentian institution. They’ve been on Long Beach forever, practically since the island got electricity, and it shows in their smooth operations and the easy confidence of their instructors. We always send our friends wanting to go pro their way, especially if they’re serious about a career, because these guys don’t just teach you to dive, they teach you how to *work* in diving. They’re one of the few places in Asia, and the only one we know of in Malaysia, offering Avelo certifications alongside the full PADI suite, right up to Instructor Examiner. That Avelo system is a game-changer for deeper, longer dives with less bulk, and getting certified here means learning from some of the most experienced Avelo techs around. We particularly love their commitment to small group sizes; it means you’re not just another number, whether you’re doing your first ever Discover Scuba Dive or tackling your IDC. Plus, being right there on Long Beach means you're steps away from the sand and the evening buzz after a day underwater.
