Many from the 6th group of Camps International UK-based students are learning to scuba dive on the PADI Open Water Diver course in the warm South China Sea!

Our team of PADI professionals devotes their instructional abilities during the adventure groups’ time camping overnight at our Gaya Island beach house to encourage the new divers to appreciate the underwater world.

In one effective approach to care for the environment is to master buoyancy skills and the PADI Open Water Diver course attests to this as a means of protecting the coral from accidental damage.

During the open water dives of the course, PADI Instructors will insist for their student divers to maintain neutral buoyancy, horizontal body positioning with fins directed upward and gauges tucked in their proper places, all of which contribute to a safe dive for both the diver as well as the fragile corals.

The environment in Borneo is known for its world class diving due to the high level of natural biodiversity and all divers, professional and recreational, want to keep it that way!
