My partner and I both did our open water course here. We communicated with Charlotte beforehand who was warm and helpful. Farouk was our instructor and he taught us well. We were made to feel really welcome at Universal Dive, every day our equipment was laid out for us before we began the dive. Charlotte is really passionate about conservation and the dive centre have sponsored Abdul Chalets and another place with metal straws,which was pleasing to see. On our last day, once qualified, we dived with Alex who was a lot of fun (despite being a big Arsenal fan Hehe) and we got to see turtles! If you are staying nearby I would highly recommend diving with these guys. It is meant to be a good place to learn as visibility is good, there's LOADS to see and it isn't too deep. Thank you to everyone. Ps. Any negative reviews on here seem to be about people who don't work there anymore, so don't let that put you off. The equipment is well looked after.

Sekayu Waterfall

Reviewed By tinkikuttih - Singapore, Singapore

Since Terengganu has several waterfalls that is a must to visit. We just had to stop by 1 of them. So we opt to go to Sekayu Waterfall. A very small hike from the parking lot to the waterfall. Around 15-20mins. The steps are not so steep either. So it's convenient for both the young and old. Dipping into the water is a must. Cool cold water but really refreshing. It wasn't that crowded either. So just nice. Clean but still with some rubbish laying around.

Panorama Diver

Perhentian Island has more than 20 dive spots that are suitable for all levels of experience. New divers can have a nice relaxing reef dive while be amazed by the brilliantly colored tropical fish and coral. Experienced divers can enjoy the freedom of spectacular reef diving, adventurous wreck diving and deep dives in an extremely idyllic and laid back setting. We teamed up with our neighbors Panorama Chalet to offer value for money Dive + Room packages which can be found on our website. Please note the accommodation provided is of basic beach-hut style. All standard rooms which are used for Dive + Room Packages are simple, but clean wooden bungalows for two people with fan, mosquito net and a bathroom with cold water showers. Rooms are set on a shady hill with lots of native trees just seconds walk to the beautiful beach. As Pulau Perhentian has no mains power, generators are used to supply power to the chalets which normally runs from 7pm-8am and 12noon-3pm. Panorama has a village feel with the chalets, great restaurant selling local and western meals from 8am-10pm daily, a small shop selling fruits, cold drinks and snacks and of course Panorama Diver. Everything you need is right here!
