Has anyone been to the Derawan Dive Resort recently? I am in my 40s, will be going on my own, and went to the Tasik Ria resort last year, and loved it and the diving. Don't want to spoil fantastic memories by going back. So, was thinking about Derawan Dive Resort. What's the diving like? What's the Resort like? Are the staff and food good? Any advice gratefully received!
Rooms are nice although a little bit worn out. All of them are air conditioned but please be warned that temp. of "warm shower" is based on Solar energy. They provided unlimited shore dive which was really good. Derawan is primarily for small stuff but you can also find many turtles and also school of snappers and jack fish under the jetty. It was also interesting to watch jawfish hatching from its mouth in dawn. It was also nice to see a big turtle laying eggs during midnight.
