Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa YBD Dive Center | Get closer to the Malaysian sea

YBD Dive Center (Yong Brothers Diving) is located within the grounds of the Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa.
It is an essential item for guests who want to enjoy the island's nature and sea to the fullest.

The facilities, equipment, and staff all exude a high level of hospitality, and while they are professional, they also have a warm, family-like atmosphere.
This is a place where both first-timers and serious divers can face the ocean with peace of mind.

An open lounge and a dedicated training pool

When you step into the center, the first thing that greets you is a spacious lounge area.
It is a comfortable space where you can relax before checking in or between classes.

The attached pool is exclusively for training. The water is calm and clean, so even those using equipment for the first time can practice their skills with peace of mind.
The shop area also has a wide selection of YBD original T-shirts and diving goods, making it the perfect place to find souvenirs or mementos of your trip.

Individual lockers are provided, making it feel like your own private room by the sea.

What was impressive was the locker room dedicated to storing equipment.
You can store your own equipment in individual lockers, so you don't have to carry it with you every time you dive, even if you're diving for several days in a row.

Security is also tight, and during your stay you'll feel like you have your own private beach room.
You can see the ingenuity put into making diving more comfortable everywhere.

A diving boat with a focus on comfort

YBD's diving boats are attractive for their spacious decks and comprehensive equipment.
Once you go up to the second floor deck, you can relax and enjoy the sea breeze.

The boat is equipped with two toilets and two showers, so you can wash off the salt immediately after getting out of the water.
The clean interior of the ship, with its dry room with sofa seats and snacks and drinks provided, makes you feel like you're in a Marriott-affiliated facility.

Professional and friendly staff

The instructors and staff are all very friendly and helpful.
The briefings are thorough and safety is strictly managed, so everyone from beginners to veterans can participate with peace of mind.
The friendliness that makes language barriers seem insignificant is one of the reasons why you can enjoy the sea more freely.

Three memorable dive spots

The healing reef with exceptional transparency, "Batu Nisan"

This spot, located in the shallow waters of Long Beach, has amazing visibility.
Colorful tropical fish dance across the bright reef bathed in sunlight, and schools of diamond fish swim gracefully.
The shallow waters and gentle currents make this a perfect place for first-time scuba diving or snorkeling. It's a relaxing sea that feels like a tropical paradise.

Dynamic terrain and fish shadows "Tokong Laut"

It is characterized by its impressive topography, with huge rocks towering above the sea.
The moment when a blacktip reef shark appeared among the golden curtains of a school of yellow snapper took my breath away.
The sight of the school of fish dancing with the current is truly an underwater drama.

San Choi Wreck, where the shipwreck lies

Wrecks in shallow water are an easy spot for beginners to try.
Visibility may be less than 10 meters, but the density of fish is truly impressive.
The schools of fish swimming around the sunken ship have a mysterious beauty reminiscent of underwater ruins.
When visibility is poor, you can enjoy the charm of wreck diving with peace of mind by always checking the position of your guide and buddy.
