I had a fantastic time at Scuba Tiger in Sabah! The management was really great, and I loved the package they offered for scuba diving, which allowed me to enjoy the stunning islands. My diving buddies, Shukri and Al-G, made the experience even better with their friendliness and expertise. However, if you're hoping for a picturesque sunrise, you'll need to head over to Semporna town as the spot doesn't quite fit that bill. Overall, a wonderful experience with just a few downsides regarding the sunrise view.
