about Scuba Junkie

Scuba Junkie is a multi-award-winning diving company established in 2004 and has now grown to include four resorts and one stand-alone dive centre in two countries spanning some of the best diving locations that SE Asia has to offer. During this time we have worked tirelessly to maintain the excellent customer-centric, safety-conscious and environmentally friendly ethos that over the years so many of our loyal guests have come to know and love and come back for time and time again. 

Scuba Junkie started in Sabah, Malaysia from humble beginnings and has developed into a well-known and respected dive operator in Malaysia and Indonesia. We have locations in Sipadan, Kota Kinabalu, Komodo, Sangalaki, and Nusa Penida.

We picked all of our dive resort locations carefully to blend unique, natural locations with some of the best dive spots in the world. We are sure that many, if not all will be on your scuba travel list!
