about Scuba Junkie

waves

Scuba Junkie is a multi-award winning diving company that began in 2004 and has since expanded to include four resorts and one stand-alone dive center in two countries spanning some of the best diving locations in Southeast Asia. During this time, we have worked tirelessly to maintain the excellent customer-centric, safety-conscious, and environmentally friendly ethos that so many of our loyal guests have come to know, love, and return for. Scuba Junkie began in Sabah, Malaysia, with the first Scuba Junkie dive shop and resort still located on Mabul Island, close to the famous Sipadan Island, and some of the best reefs Malaysia, and indeed the world, has to offer. With subsequent locations in Kota Kinabalu, Komodo, Sangalaki and Nusa Penida, Scuba Junkie has grown into a well-known and well-respected dive centre and resort operator in both Malaysia and Indonesia.

Scuba Junkie Sangalaki Resort first opened its doors in 2016 and has since become a popular destination. It is often booked as part of a Sipadan combo package due to the relatively close proximity of the two resorts. 

We carefully selected each of our resort and dive centre locations to combine unique, natural settings with some of the best diving in the world, and we are confident that at least one, if not all, of our locations will be on your scuba travel bucket list.
