Diving Sabah? Dive Downbelow!

One of the lasting memories about any trip will be the people you interact with on that trip.

For this reason Downbelow have developed an outstanding team of people to deliver safe, enjoyable programs & holidays to exceed clients’ expectations.

Being awarded the status of PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre in 2009 catapulted Downbelow to the highest level in professional diver training. It inspired us to embarked on a local internship program, which offers a professional career path for local people within the PADI system of education.

We financially sponsor the candidates and conduct thorough training, after which the best of the successful candidates are offered employment with the company.

In this way the program provides talented Sabahans with a career path, which otherwise might be out of reach.

It also creates an instructor team for Downbelow, taught by us and to the company’s high standards.

Meet the Downbelow staff who makes it all happen.
