We arrange diving tours and diving safari all over the world: Egypt, Malaysia, Caribbean Basin, Palau, Truk Lagoon, Galapagos Islands, Mexico, Australia, Yap Island, Micronesia). In warm seasons we arrange diving to the wrecks in the Baltic Sea, at the coastline of Latvia and Estonia.

Former students of our diving school visited many spots of our planet: they dived in Egypt, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Mediterranean Sea, Argentina, at shores of Florida, South Africa, Galapagos Islands, and elsewhere.

We always consult on peculiarities of diving in one or another world country, its flora and fauna; we try to supply with comprehensive and useful information diving centers in this region.

Our favorite traditional and verified routes are Sipadan Island in Malaysia and diving safari in the south of Red Sea.

In Malaysia our partner is the company "Borneo Divers", the first and currently the biggest diving operator all over the South-East Asia. One of its founders, Mr. Clement Lee, is the first in Malaysia PADI Director and adviser for the Ministry of Tourism in this country.

Borneo Divers were the first to build in 1989 Dive-Resort on the famous Sipadan Island. When great Jacques Yves Cousteau visited Sipadan Island in 1989, he said: "I have seen other places like Sipadan, 45 years ago, but now no more. Now we have found an untouched piece of art".



Sipadan is a unique island of volcanic origin, with its reef being surrounded by vertical (up to 600 meters) reef walls, attracting big pelagius, such as sharks, rays, sea turtles.


Sipadan is also called the "Island of Turtles" due to huge number of sea turtles living in the island waters. Sipadan Island and Borneo Divers Dive-Resort many times won number one spots in readers' polls on diving made by many foreign magazines in the following nominations: Best Shore Diving, Best Wall Diving" and other.


Detailed information on Sipadan Island and photos please find also on Internet site: http://www.borneodivers.info/SipadanFrame.html, as well as on our site in Gallery: photo reports about three our previous trips to Malaysia.




In Egypt our partner is "Sea Serpent Fleet Management", the biggest in this country company in arrangement of high-level diving safari. All safari-boats of this company are provided with all equipment necessary for going along any routes around the Red Sea from Ras Mohammed in the North to Saint John's reefs in the South, including all natural reserves (Brothers, Zabargad, Rocky, Daedalus and others).

Those who traveled about Egypt know how difficult is to receive a high-quality diving services in this country: water on the dive-boat ending few days before the voyage is finished, some strange weather phenomena barring from visiting one or another diving site but quickly disappearing after payment of extra money.

That is just why we choose for our diving safari only "de luxe" class vessels and never save money on the account of service quality.

When choosing the diving safari, the cost of the trip as a rule tells much: diving safari in Egypt offered to you for USD 900 to 1,100 simply cannot provide chartering a proper diving boat and you have a chance of finding yourself on some old dilapidated boat lacking fresh water or cylinders.

All Sea Serpent Fleet vessels are equipped with water fresheners allowing you not saving water at all times, air conditioners without which trips in Egypt appear to be very difficult from May until October, and special navigation equipment enabling ships to make night passages in order not to spend precious daytime; besides, all company boats are provided with Nitrox equipment which essentially increases safety of diving and allows make them more lasting and challenging.

Just for that reason most of Sea Serpent Fleet vessels such as " M/V Sea serpent", M/V "Miss Veena", M/V "Lady Sarah", M/V "Excellence", are in great demand and as a rule chartered in advance for a year or two.

Besides, during our diving safari you can always pass technical diving courses: - Nitrox, Advance Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Extended Range allowing extending depth and time range of your dives.
