About this center

Universal Diver is a PADI dive centre located on Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian Island), offering a quieter and more relaxed diving experience compared to the busier Kecil. The centre caters to divers who prefer a peaceful setting with fewer crowds while still accessing all the same spectacular dive sites. Their experienced instructors offer PADI courses from beginner to rescue diver level, and daily fun dives explore sites around both islands. Highlights include encounters with sea turtles at nearly every dive site, black-tip reef sharks patrolling the shallows, and colourful walls of soft coral. The island's crystal-clear waters offer excellent visibility during the diving season from March to October. Budget-friendly pricing makes this an attractive option for backpackers and students.
