Messsage Hi Richard,

Thanks a mllion for taking time to gave my daughter the DSD lesson.

She was very happy and enjoyed the session a lot.

She been telling me that she saw a lot of corals and fishes but her favourite things is the clown fish.

Since then she has been asking me when she can go diving again and hope to join me soon.

Also say thanks to Duncan and Cyril for making my daughter day\'s a wonderful occasion.

Thanks again.

Many thanks for the pictures.

We will add them to our memories of Dive Downbelow and KK.

We had a terrific time.

The set-up, the gear and especially the staff made it a first-rate dive. I was very pleased with the extra time Richard and the others spent with the kids to make sure they had a great time.

As you know, I already recommended Dive Downbelow to Mike Kelly (he and
Amanda had a great time). And I will recommend you to everyone who asks.

We are already talking about our next trip to KK.

Say hi to Karen at Moonbell. (Mike and Amanda really enjoyed their meal
there.)

If you come through Singapore, please look us up.

Comments from Lauren & Alex:

"Thank you so much for a terrific diving experience.

I really enjoyed seeing all the wildlife and coral underwater, and seeing all the turtles!

I really enjoyed the food, and all your helpful staff and you. :)

I would immediately recommend it to my friends. :)

Thanks for everything.

We told our friend Mike & Amanda Kelley about it and their experience was like ours (except the turtles).

We really enjoyed having all those great dive sites to dive on."

The kids are ready to go back!!

All the best,
Doug, Lauren + Alex Foy

Messsage I just want to give a big thankyou to all of the Downbelow staff for making me feel so welcome in my short time visiting the Island and many thanks to James as you are an excellent tutor!.

If you would be kind enough to send me some info on the internship such as costs etc i would be very appreciative.

Thanks again

Hi Jo & Richard,
 
Hope you are well and getting good weather for diving.

Richard-Thank you diving with us and showing us the numerous mating nudis, here a shot of my favourite.

Hi Gerry,
 
We had another great day with the downbelow team, in particular with Calvin, Tania for the fantastic dives, JC for his guidance, Roy for the bbq and Ashley for her friendly jokes and warmth.
 
Michael.
 

Richard and Joanne,

A belated note from me to thank you both for such an excellent diving package at the beginning of the month.  It all came together very well indeed.  Ruth and George were guided through the Open Water course methodically, sympathetically and so effectively that George is now a veritable sub-aqua ‘boff’, rather too regularly testing me on the physics of diving I might add.  

For my part, I was grateful for the opportunity to dust off a few cobwebs and to widen my capabilities with the Advanced qualification.  Thank you, Richard for your personal involvement in my training.  

Ruth and George are now enthused divers and to share the experience of seeing turtles ‘down below’ with them at my side was more than I had hoped for.  If you want a measure of the effect on George, he has proclaimed diving to be better than skiing.  That is saying something, I can assure you!

Your team did you proud, by the way. Calvin struck just the right balance with Ruth and George.  Overall, I was impressed with the professional operation you run.

With Elizabeth still a little young to go through the Open Water course (only 4, bless her), it will be a while before we are all diving as a family, but it is bound to be a feature of future holidays, so we hope to see you again.

With renewed thanks and warmest wishes,

Jonny Bourne

Hi Joanne,
 
I would like to thank you and your team for providing us with such a wonderful diving holiday last weekend at Kota Kinabalu. You have been very helpful with providing useful information before my trip.
 
During the trip, I am especially impressed by the level of professionalism and care provided by JC and Tanya. JC provided us with a little tour and information about KK en-route from our hotel to Jesselton Jetty. He has also recommended a very good Chinese restaurant for our evening out. This is excellent service.
 
A big thank you to JC & Tanya for their care and service during the dive. It is such a pleasure diving with you guys.
 
Zenn was impressed with Calvin instruction to his Open Water divers. As she had just completed her Open diving course last month in Singapore, she was able to compare the difference in instruction methods.
 
I will be recommending you guys to all my friends who are interested in diving.

You will definitely see us again. It’s so easy to get to KK from Singapore and the dive sites are so near. Every dive was different and we see different coral formation each time.
 
I’ve been diving for over 20 years and I’ve only come across turtle twice. During the dive last week, I spotted 2 different turtle in one day! That’s amazing.
 
Please extend my appreciation to Richard for a job well done.
 
Regards,
 
Sam Loong

Hi everybody at Downbelow,

Just to say thanks for making my daughter bubblemaker session possible last week.

To James, I appreciated you spending the times for the session despite your tight schedule on that day.

My daughter enjoyed the session although at first she felt a bit scare.

But, by afternoon she was asking when she can do it again.

Finally, thanks again from me and Husna.

Hi Richard & Joanne
 
Trust you are both keeping well & busy!
 
Just to let you know that I have just been asked to do a review of your dive centre by www.scubadviser.com  & of course I have just given you a glowing report!
 
I have also attached the photo of Richard & Elliott taken on our last day with you, Elliott is still your biggest fan & he has hardly taken off his t-shirt since we left Borneo. In fact he worn it the whole time whilst we were in Singapore & even to afternoon tea in Raffles!!
 
Kind regards
 
Sally Statham & family




 

Whale Sharks have arrived on Gaya Island Kota Kinabalu Sabah !!

March to April is traditionally Whaleshark season in the surrounding waters of Kota Kinabalu and along the west coast Sabah.

At Downbelow we run daily dive packages, visiting their favorite feeding grounds around Gaya Island and within TARP in search of these beautiful creatures.

Yesterday to every ones delight our divers came across a huge school of Krill whilst on their 1st boat dive of the day.

Knowing that the Sharks would not be far away they began searching the shallow waters.

In total 3 of these enormous fish were spotted, 2 of the Whale Sharks were 4-6m in length with 1 of them around 12m long !!

What a spectacle !! The divers spent an hour with them cruising back and forth the bay.

In the excited frenzy they didn't manage to get a great picture and unfortunately Richard did not have his camera but thanks to Tan from Sarawak we do have a couple of images of the actual sharks.

Among our guests that day were two people on a 3 Day Dive Package, specifically to see the Whale Sharks and they have both written very some lovely comments for our guest-book.

"I herewith attached the whale shark pictures that I took on Friday the 13th March 2009. These are the only pictures that I have in my cam.
 
I really have a great times diving with your team! Only two words that I can describe your team, and that is  VERY GOOD!
 
That's all from me now and I hope I will manage to get the divers from Kuching to dive in KK for Whale Shark next year!
 
Thanks for everything! Warmest regards,
Tan (Sarawak)

Your centre have got yourself great staff with superb eyes sight.. I'm so glad I did see the whale shark... The excitment in me is like so so huge... Really enjoyed myself. Thank you so much...

Warmest Regards

Hi Joanne

We had a great time at KK, Richard is a great teacher for underwater photography & he demonstrated patience & enthusiasm for his art.

We thoroughly enjoyed the lessons.  Your staff are also very nice, considerate people.

I think Rob has nothing but praises for them haha

We look forward to diving with your team again!

Thanks!
 
Kind regards

Hi Joanne
 
Quick note to say thanks to you and Richard for looking after Kim and I when we visited last week.  Easily the most professional dive company I’ve seen.
 
Richard took some photos of a fish laying eggs, and mentioned he’d like to see them so you can find them in the attachment.  If you want the original files just let me know which ones and I’ll send them individually, as they’re huge!
 
We both want to come back and go to Sipadan at some point, so will perhaps see you again.  Please pass out regards on to Richard and his team.
 
Regards,
 
Andrew

Hi Joanne,
 
Thanks again for taking us to Survivor Island!

I talked to everyone afterwards, and they all said it was their favorite trip of the week.

Can you send me the pictures Richard took when you have some time?
 
Thanks!
Amy
 

Dear divers,

I`m sending you regards from Tokyo and wanted to thank you for everything.

I spent a great time on Borneo with all of you.

Marcin Sapeta

Hello Richard and Joanne,
 
I was out to dive with you at the beginning of the month while my mother came to snorkel. 

I loved the experience and would love to see some additional dive sites with you on my next vacation! 

You had mentioned a photo of a cuttle fish that you might send me. 

I'd love to show a few of the people I learned with here in Taiwan.  If you have any other clear pics of me in the water, I'd be grateful if you could send them along. 

Mine were alright but it would be nice to show some clearer images so I convince some people to join me next time.

Thanks and I'll be looking forward to seeing any pics you might have.
Sincerely,
Tim Bolton

Hi Richard & Joanne,

Many thanks for the photos they are really great, I will have a look on Facebook also.
 
It was a great pleasure diving with you, I thoroughly enjoyed the professionalism, atmosphere & good humour.

Hopefully I will be back again in the not to distant future (departing for winderful Yemen tomorrow morning for around 5 weeks).
 
Best regards
Steve

Hi Joanne - We just got back in Singapore today.

We would like to thank you for the experience we had with Downbelow for our very first scuba dive.

Me and my friend, Melai would like to extend our warm gratitude to your team especially to James, who was very patient and helpful all through the time.

We're missing KK already because of you guys. Hopefully we could come back this year.

It was such a blast for the both us that we are already thinking of coming back soon. Thanks again and best wishes to your team.

Hi, The Bubblemaker program was the highlight of my trip to Borneo.

I really want to thank James , Richard and Joanne.

I liked to see all the animals and plants under the water, even touch some of them.

My favorites were the giant clam, clownfish, different colored live corals, blue starfish, sea cucumbers, bright colored nudibranchs, blennies,  butterfly fish, even a tiger cowrie seashell.

I'm really enjoying the website and practising my swimming until I can get back to Borneo.
 
David, aged 8

Hi Richard!

Thank you for your kindness.

Yesterday we arrived back at Japan.

I enjoyed diving trip and we could spend precious time each other.

Someday we would like to go back in order to do scuba there again.

Takuo Yoshikawa

Hi Guys
Alan and I just wanted to say thanks SO much for everything you've done for us so far, including hanging about this evening for us to get back from the mountain... we expected to have been back in KK about 3.30 not 7.30 but Eddie our guide was a gem and was keen to show us all sorts including a flowering Rafflesia which Alan was very pleased about!

Anyway, we had a fun packed day but it was long and we were beat when we returned, just packing up the cases now and heading to bed shortly for our flight in the morning but logged on to print off our itinerary for the next few days as I'd forgotten what we were doing when!

We really have had a brilliant first 3 days in Sabah all thanks to you guys and re-reading the excursion know the next week or so will be just as great if not better. :)

I have an old school friend honeymooning here in a couple of weeks and I've already passed your details on to her if they want to dive or book excursions and we'll be sure to do the same with anyone coming here.

You've certainly made it a breeze for us to see the best of the place in our short time (wish it was longer) and we appreciate it massively.

Really hope we get to come back and visit you again in your little share of paradise but will drop you a note on our return to the UK and let you know how the rest of the trip goes.

Big big thanks again,
Lara & Alan

Hello Rich & Joann + rest of crew,
 
Remember us!? ... Linda & Peter to whom you sold the Kapalai trip? :o)
We had a absolutely wonderful time down there and got to dive 8 times at Sipadan + another 6 dives around the rest of the islands! Brilliant!!!
 
We are coming back to KK tonight and are flying out again on the 8th! I was wondering about my PADI OWA card! Did you get it back from PADI yet, so I could pick it up tomorrow maybe!?
 
Hope to see you tomorrow!
 
Kind Regards
Linda & Peter, DENMARK
 
P.s. I have enclosed the photos from your birthday party! Goooood cake!!! 

Hi Richard,

Once again many thanks for looking after Paddy and I so well over the last three days.

We thoroughly enjoyed the course and the company of yourself and the rest of the staff.

You run a really great operation in a lovely spot.

We have both suffered withdrawal symptoms today, so I am sure we will be back.

Please find below a link to the photo's Paddy took, and feel free to use anything you think may be up to standard.

Hi Richard,


We are back Singapore now with wonderful memories of Kota Kinabalu.



Thank you for the wonderful day on Gaya Island on 1st Dec for my family.


My son Julian certainly enjoyed his first experience of scuba diving with your team.


Can you send the photos we took on the boat to my email address.
Thank you! 

Warmest Regards, 
Elsie Tan

Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for your online confirmation and I have also received a confirmation email from Padi webmaster through my yahoo email. I made an excellent choice in joining you. I truly and sincerely enjoyed my program.

You have such a wonderful and friendly staffs, especially ivy, extremely friendly, I can still hear her laugh, ha ha. I will plan my diving again as you mentioned to me the whale shark season is in April and maybe I can do another course at the same time.

Take care and send my regards to everyone.

Kind regards.

Jehan.

Hi Richard & Joanne,

Thank you for being part of what was a fantastic holiday! You have a great set up/business, the staff were very friendly, and your approach to service was spot on.

Not that many of my friends dive and pop over to Borneo very often, but you will certainly be recommended if they do.

Hopefully will be over again in a couple of years for a fortnights diving!

Of course the 4 of us are extremely jealous and feel you made the right move (England is currently 4 degrees, grey and windy).

Kind Regards,
Matt, Andy, Helen & Jane.

P.s. Joanne, hope you managed to catch the end of 'Heroes'!

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am very jubilant with your good service that day I did my Discover Scuba during my vacations in KK, Sabah. You have made me eager to try the Open Water Diver Course which I believe you the expertise one!

Looking forward your reply.

Thank you.

Richard, Jo,Eve, and the rest of the staff at Divedownbelow.

Adam and I just wanted to drop you a note to say how wonderful your operation is.

The recomendation for the river cruise was great.

Our Day with you was great fun. Even though the weather was a disaster, and did not allow us to dive as much as we had hoped.

Your staff was very attentive and pleasant.

Our boat trip back to the mainland in the 2 meter swells was almost as fun as the diving.



Again just wanted to say GREAT JOB. The hats and photo of "NEMO" was a excellant touch!

Hope to see you again..

Got the pics, thanks Richard. And I really enjoyed the course, please tell Jo I said thanks :)

Nav

Hi Richard,

And thanks for a lovely night yesterday! And thanks for the course aswell! I don't think I could have picked a better place to do it!

Sipadan I could not book, because it was full. But I had a few days of good dives in Mabul and Sibuan! So no worries about the gloves, I'll manage without them! :) Right now in Kutching, and tomorrow Ho Chi Minh.

Hi everybody at Gaya,

Hi Richard,

What a wonderful day. Thanks for showing me shark, ribbon, etc.. It was just awesome.

Please help me to say a big thanks to Joanne, James, Muscles and your team (my bad, I can't remember all their name) again.

Best Regards,
Kelvin Sze

Dear Eve, Richard, Jo, Clare, Miso, James n the rest of the staff in Divedownbelow,

It was nice meeting you all! I really had a wonderful dive trip with all of you which I didn't expect such as a good dive sites that u have around in Gaya Island! Not only that, your service are good with good explanation of the dive sites, good guiding, good food by Chef Clare and etc. I really have a feeling i was diving in oversea countries! I really enjoyed it! Anyway, I might be want to go back to KK during March 2009 for Whale Shark and the sunset dive!
 
Oh yeah, I herewith attached the group picture that we took together for your perusal.

Ok , that's all from me now! I hope we will meet soon and if anyone of you are coming down to Kuching, please don't be shy to look for me! Cheers!
 
Warmest regards,
Tan Chung Siong

Jo, Richard,
 
We’re back in miserable ole’ England but just wanted to send a mail to thank you for the dives and days out, it has re-ignited our passion to get back in the water (and out of the mud) and do more diving. It was great to meet you both and the rest of your team, who were really nice and a great support.
Wish you all the very best with the venture, I think you’ve done a great job so far and we’ll definitely look you up next time we’re in KK.
 
Thanks again!
 
Regards,

Dear Richard and Joanne,

Thank you so much for a fantastic few days' diving.

Personally, it was an absolute revelation and an unforgettable experience.

As for the boys - they all came away so proud to have achieved something they never thought they could have done and raving about it.

You have got a great set-up there and, as I said last week, all of your team really did you proud.


I am sure that I will be visiting again at some point soon - hopefully with Mrs T and junior in tow!

For now, take care and enjoy the last couple of groups to come through.

Speak soon,

Tom

Hey Eveee!

Thanks once again for teaching me! I had a really good time and i hope you did too!

The photos are awesome so thankyou :).

If you can send the video at some point that would be great.

Here is a photo of us :).

Love Marcus xx

Hi Richard,

We have just arrived home today but I wanted to e-mail you straight away! We want to say thank you, you have got a great team!

I was very nervous, but thanks to Bruno, I think I've finally overcome my fear of water, he was very patient with me and my girls and showed us lots of exciting things.

Thanks to him and Mr Muscles???

We all passed and can't wait to go diving again, if we had been out there longer I think we would have gone out again!

Also say thanks to Evie for us, she rescued Natalie's sunglasses for her, what a lovely person and what a laugh!

Could you please thank them all for us
With kind regards
Suzanne, Paul,  Natalie & Nicole Turner

Dear Joanne and Richard
 
The family and I just wanted to thank you for our fantastic day diving and snorkelling.  Despite our various levels of skill and physical fitness, we all had an absolute ball – especially Keir who was delighted with his first real diving efforts and the marine life he encountered.
 
The enthusiasm of both the girls (instructors) was infectious and their ability to carefully show us some of the less obvious sea creatures was most welcome – we even spotted nudibranks and barracudas while snorkelling!
 
Although we have snorkelled in several places around the world, this was the first time my little girl did so without floatation devices and she soon learnt to duck dive and take a closer look at the fish and coral.  The highlight for her was the many sightings of clown fish families – one clown fish was at least 25cm long!

My son loved the nudibranks and his close encounter with a moray eel.  The biggest thrill of my day was witnessing my children’s delight with every encounter and the confidence they gained from the experience.
 
Next time we come, we may be a bit more adventurous and try the East Coast – turtles and sharks are still on our list.
 
Thanks once again!
 
Rana, Mark, Keir and Evynn
 
PS  It was really nice to chat with you and Richard afterwards

I know Andy's been in touch already but I'd like to echo his thanks for a wonderful time. You both really made our holiday and I very much enjoyed getting to know you two. It was very depressing coming back to the UK and even more so when sat back at my desk. Ugh.

So I'm writing as we're thinking about coming back next year and would love to dive with you again. Having heard you speak so highly about Kapalai it would be great to do a trip over there following a week in KK. For some reason I'd like to conquer mount kinabalu! Have you got one planned for 2009 yet?

I'm sure you both are doing splendidly and keeping very busy. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Deena

Hello dearest manager Evelyn and all the staff.

Guys,

Just wanted to say thanks very much for looking after us again, everyone had a great day. Looking forward to seeing you again in August for the Rescue Course.

Cheers

I hope you had a good week on Lankayan, and it would be lovely to keep in touch. I'll pass your email address onto Heidi. If you ever get any free time on any visits home, give us a shout- you're both welcome to come and stay or we could always meet somewhere for a few drinks and a catch-up.  
Thanks again for the diving course and all your help when we were there- we had such a great time. Heidi's got some funny pictures of us at various stages of the fireman's lift- I'll get her to send them to you.
 
Hope all's well,
take care,

Ev,

Look forward to catching up soon,
Joanne

Im back in the UK now, and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the diving intro, while in Borneo.

I think its a testimony to your expirience as a trainer, that even though I couldnt get over the trauma of actualy breathing underwater myself, I really enjoyed the training, and the stuff you taught me, like the waggly fingers, that means go for a swim, and stuff like that (I never knew, how divers "talk" to each other, before that, or what all the stuff does like the clocks and the spare breathing thing).

I will get going now, as the jet lag is killing me (I feel like a pint, and a Sunday Lunch, but its 8am in the morning over here !).

kind regards, and once again thanks.

Dear Richard

Just to say thanks so much for all your advice etc. We a great time, Landkayan was amazing, well words can't really describe it, infact it was all wonderful.Loved it all..... Left us hungry for more...we'll be back.

Regards
Jill
ps ..and I only got attacked by one leech in the jungle!

Hi Guys,
 
Hope you are well. I very much enjoyed meeting you both and the diving. Richard thanks for the advice and encouragement, I felt I learned a lot from you. I think I've found a solution to my system's neg buoyancy by using special high density, non-compressible foam over the arms.
 
A few reasonable pics and will send on as promised once I've gone through them
 
How's the boat? Did all go according to the promises you received?
 
All the best
 
Paul

A short mail to thank you so much for today, I had a really great time diving and learning with you guys, and I want to thank you for looking after me the way you did, I really felt privileged!!!

I wish you all the very best in what you are trying to achieve in KK, I am very confident that it will be a successful adventure for you...

Good luck and keep in touch!!!
Cheers,
Hassan.

I've had a fabulous time at Kapalai. Thanks so much for recommending it.

Loved every minute and will be back for sure. It's a great place and the dive centre is fantastic. The guys are amazing...
 
I hope you managed to extend your stay at the resort.

Got up late this morning and thought... oh... if i was back there... I would have done one dive already! I'm SOOO envious!

Cheers,

We just wanted to thank you for all of your help with helping me organise my honeymoon.
We had the best time while over there! It is just beautiful!
 
We climbed the mountain – truly the hardest thing I’ve ever done! It took 5 days for my legs to recover! We would be walking down the street and people would say to us “oh you have climbed the mountain!” and we would ask how they knew, “you are doing the Kinabalu walk!” too funny!
 
The Hyatt was great, although they gave us the wrong room but certainly made up for this in other ways.
 
Sepilok was just so romantic, the food the best we had in all of Sabah and the kindness of Mr Lim was great! and the orangutans were awesome! I tried so hard to get the ‘perfect’ shot but it just didn’t happen!
 
The river was great – we loved being there in the middle of the jungle! We had a great guide – Sahar who was so knowledgeable on the 50 million questions I had for him! and the caves where amazing! We did a jungle walk at night which was great, although I really don’t like leaches! We met with Nelson but really didn’t see much of him so our tip went to the guide…
 
And then there was Kapali – well, what can I say – that was just amazing! The diving there was the best ever! The rooms were gorgeous! It was great!
 
We had planned to try and catch up with you both on our return to KK but our flight from Tawau was delayed for 5 hrs so didn’t even have time to shop which was very annoying!
 
Anyway, if you are ever coming to Australia, look us up!
 
Thanks again
 
Kindest
Michelle

.... I"ve been meaning to email you for ages,  but you know how it is with getting back into work.    Back to reality thats for sure !

Well we are both hoping to some back and see you at some stage in Sandikan later this year.     Thank you soo much for everything.   We had such a great time and learnt soo much.   Honestly all the other dive guides we had in the Maldives were so slack  compared to you both so we feel very lucky we found you !
