Well, I was staying there 5 yrs ago for OW diving course and I am back this year ;-) 1. water house - above water and you can jump into the water directly for snorkeling and diving, water is still clean; 2. The boss Ali is friendly and normally will offer discounts if you book with them directly; 3. buffet lunch and dinner is really delicious with chicken, beef/fresh fishes, vegetable, etc. especially when there are more guests around; 4. best spot for sunset; 5. although room is basic, it is clean; 6. they also can help with booking diving in Sipadan!

It's a waterfront wooden house and basically all the house was built on seashore, above water. You can enjoy the sea view and swimming whenever you want. And they offer diving, shuttle boat, and Sipadan diving license, what's the most important is to, ask in advance!!! (Because once you get there, you are in the middle of ocean, make sure you make everything with reservation)

Mabul is a remote island, and for the same price as mainland or Malaysian peninsula, you will obviously not have the same quality for your accomodation. However, the place is quiet, and offer enough to spend good time far far far away. This structure only have a few number of rooms, and is located between villagers house, which garantee intimate moments. The staff is awesome, warm welcome will be greeted to you, and you will be helped gently. The food cooked for lunch and dinners is delicious, but you can also find a restaurant at the end of the jetty (heading to Sphere Divers) or drink an Ice tea with locals. If you have the chance to meet Azhar, he will be an awesome underwater guide, however, Bonny, the permanent Divemaster will show you around and is very knowleadgeable.

This place felt like a little piece of heaven. Ady and the staff are hospitable, helpful and very easy going. Walking to the place on a wooden walking through local homes, it opens up to a platform that is on the water. On one side are chalets and your left side a dining area. I could spend a whole month on that spot if time allowed. The rooms and food are basic but it is expected from this cute and rustic place that makes you feel at home.

Staff was very kind and helpful. Food was cheap and quite good. The beach was clean and offered good point for snorkeling. Along the beach there are some bars and restaurants.

A very laid back place with super friendly staff, lovely location and great look out post to watch the sunset from. Good snorkeling tours! It's obvious that you get what you pay for, comfort level wise but that's all good!

The best things about Spheredivers are the location right on/over the water and the fabulous sea view, the people who operate it and make yummy meals, and the reasonably priced snorkeling trips. (Maybe diving, too; we only snorkelled). Also good is that I got responses to important questions about snorkelling rates, transport to the island, money changing, etc very promptly while I was enroute to Semporna, using booking.com assistant message system.
