Scuba Junkie

Sipadan, Malaysia

The team at Scuba Junkie are, hands down, some of the most genuinely passionate divers you'll meet in Sipadan. We've always appreciated their no-nonsense approach to diving and their commitment to the local environment, particularly their turtle conservation efforts. You’ll see it in how they brief you, how they handle the gear, and the way their dive guides know every nook and cranny of the reefs. If you’re heading to Sipadan, Scuba Junkie is our top pick, especially if you want to maximise your chances of hitting those prime dive slots. They've got the permits sorted, which is half the battle in Sipadan. We also love that they push a strong conservation message, without being preachy. They’re running a serious operation, from your first Discover Scuba Dive to full-blown Instructor Development Courses, so there’s a place for every level here. Our favourite thing about diving with them is their ability to read the currents at Barracuda Point and get you in at just the right moment, surrounded by hundreds of swirling barracuda. That’s an experience that really gets your adrenaline going.
