Hi Jo and Gerry,
 
I just wanted to say thank you for helping us organise such a wonderful trip to Sabah.

We had an amazing three weeks and loved the whole place - Lankayan was a great spot to relax after the wedding, we managed to see three orang utans at Kinabatangan.

The diving at Kapalai and Sipadan was incredible and the Magellan was a fantastic place to spend our final few nights.
 
Hope all is well on your paradise island...
 
Kelvin

Dear Joanne))))!
 
Thank you very much for Lankayan ))) - it was perfect)). Even with two kids it was relaxing))) and peaceful and very beautiful). We lived in the biggest chalet with 2 floors, and when we decided to sleep on the balcony last night)), big green turtle went for a nesting right near the next chalet...and 3 military tried to send her back into the water, and she was quite heavy), because the place was not proper) - in between 3 trees..... Finally with deep breath she swam away.
Also we dived several times::)))-.
Seems that my head is still there))).
 
Thank you from all of us).
Sincerely,
Natalia)

Hi Joanne,
 
My partner and I have just returned from Malaysia and we would just like to say a big thank you to Dive Downbelow! We had a fantastic time at Kapalai, managing 19 dives over 4 full days and 2 half days! We got to dive Sipadan 6 times over 1 full day and half a day! The combination of macro diving around Kapalai and Mabul and the big pelagic fishes at Sipadan was truly amazing!
 
The whole booking process and experience with Dive Downbelow was extremely easy and was by far the cheapest operator around!

Communication was excellent throughout. Everything went smoothly from the airport pick up, boat transfers and final transfer to the hotel in Tawau!  We were even lucky enough to get the water chalet closest to the dive centre at Kapalai. I can't highly recommend Dive Downbelow enough and will be recommending Dive Downbelow to family and friends and personally for future trips!
 
Thank you very much!
 
Kind Regards

Hi Gerry
 
Thanks for your patience!
 
Well, I dove 2 times in Sipadan and it was just amazing!!!
Marine environment is different from Kapalai and Mabul, eh? I also liked diving in Kapalai and Mabul especially when I saw a big frog fish which I can only find small one here in Indonesia.
 
So as Joanna said to me the other day, no regret!!
Say hi to Joanna for me please!
 
Take care gerry!

Hi Joanne & Richard,

Just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic stay at Kapalai Resort and the diving at Sipadan was something else.

The atmosphere and service at the water village was excellent-everything we had dreamed of and more.

We had 4 dives at Sipadan-all were eye openers.Memories we will never forget.

Our whole holiday was just perfect.
 
Thanks again for all your assistance in our planning and for your professional,very hospitable diving experience whilst in KK.It was Great.
 
Til we are in KK again,
Thanks.
 
Kevin & Carol.

Hi Joanne,
I am writing to let you know that we had a wonderful and fascinating trip to Sg. Kinabatangan and Kapalai. All of us had a great time and we are very impressed with how organized and efficient the agenda was planned for us. Everything went very smoothly. The staff are friendly and hospitable.
Have a good day,
Sorhwa and family

Hi Joanne,

Hi,

Just a quick note to thank you for organising parts of our trip to Borneo.
We enjoyed the mountain trip and Lankayan island very much and everything went very smoothly. The staff that we met during our mountain trip were great; they were friendly, helpful and we felt very 'looked after'. Lankayan island was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The Hyatt was also very nice and we had avery pleasant stay there.

If we ever return to Borneo, we'll be sure to use Downbelow and would not hesitate to recommend you to others.

Best Wishes,

Hi Joanne
I'm running out of words to describe how good this is! 

The diving is incredible, but the resort, the sea, the skies and everything about this place make it an out of body experience.

Everyone's buzzing about it - we saw enough stuff on the orientation dive to keep most divers happy for 6 months!!

Thanks for your (and Richard's) persistence in recommending the place - I think its gonna top the list of the things I've done in my 6 month tour of Oz and Asia!
Cheers, Peter.

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

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
