EXCELLENT Based on 142 reviews Aadya Adhyaru26 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently did my Rescue Diver course at Lekker Divers, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel welcome and at ease, which really set the tone for the entire course. Saho, my instructor, was absolutely fantastic. His way of teaching made even the most challenging skills feel manageable. He has this perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, which kept me focused and confident through every step of the training. A big thank you to Enia and Apiz, who went all out as my โvictimsโ during the course! They made each exercise feel real and engaging โ I seriously couldnโt have asked for better partners. The scenarios felt like true practice, which gave me so much confidence for real-world situations. And I canโt forget Maddy, who made the fun dives after the course a blast! She kept the energy up and made sure we all had a great time exploring. Cat also deserves a mention for always being around to help and making everything run smoothly behind the scenes. Overall, the team at Lekker Divers went above and beyond to create an amazing learning experience. Whether youโre a beginner or looking to advance, this is the place to be must visit Maggie Weir21 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic experience diving with the Lekker team. Best dive shop I have dived with in my 3 months in Asia. Aslam and Nicole have created such a welcoming and fun environment, I strongly recommend diving with the Lekker team! You wonโt regret it. Huge thank you to the entire highly professional and super fun team at Lekker - from Jaja on reception, to my great instructors (Aslam for the Open Water and Nicola for the Advanced Open Water), and all the Divemasters and boat guys. Special shout out to Divemaster Maddie for some super chill and enjoyable fun dives ! Lucien Rรคber9 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and competend staff. They inform you well about all the divesides and condicions. The divemasters guide you well and save through your dives (Thanks Maddy & Wap). Dan9 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Completing my Open Water dive at Lekker was an absolutely excitement-packed experience and a recommendation that I can wholly endorse for others to try! Many thanks to Apiz and Nicola in particular for being such fab and enthusiastic mentors, I had a brilliant time learning the important skills of a diver whilst being shown the wonders of the ocean ๐ ๐ก Lena6 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ik deed mijn open water bij lekker divers, wat een geweldige keuze was! Ik kreeg Inge als instructeur waardoor alles in het Nederlands verliep. Inge stelt je op je gemak en legt alles heel goed uit. Ik had een veilig en comfortabel gevoel, dikke merci! Ik zou deze duikschool aan iedereen aanbevelen. Vincent B4 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lekker divers was perfect! They took care of the lessonโs, accommodation and a very nice time! Got the refresher from Saho and the AOW from Nicola, they were very helpful and fun to dive with! ๐ค Lance Valkenhoff4 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hier mijn open water en advanced achter elkaar gedaan met Saho en Nicola. Hele relaxte instructeurs en duiklocaties zijn top. L M3 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed my advanced open water and Enriched Air with Lekker Divers and had the best of time while doing so. Nicola, my PADI instructor, not only took me to some terrific dive sites, but also was a super instructor. I only done 8 dives during my time there and wish I could have done more. If youโre wanting to have boat loads of fun with super cool people, I highly recommend choosing Lekker Divers for your diving trips and training. I promise, you wonโt regret it. See you next season ๐ค Romane Picard2 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had the BESTEST time diving with Lekker for 2 weeks, everyone was sooo welcoming, fun, kind and knowledgeable about the dive sites around Perhentian! We canโt stop thinking about this wonderful place, even 3+ weeks after leaving ๐ฅน Lekker is THE place to dive with on the island ๐ซง๐ฉต๐ซฐ๐ป Wesley Brouwers2 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience diving with Lekker Divers! After completing our refresher course with them, we felt confident and ready for more dives. Our refresher course was with Maddey, who was incredibly friendly and patient throughout the entire process. The following day, we returned for two dives at Kecil and Basar Island. One dive was guided by Maddey again, and the other with Apiz. Both dives were super relaxed, and we felt completely at ease with their guidance. The equipment provided was excellent and everything seemed almost brand new. The atmosphere at the dive school is really welcoming, with friendly and professional staff. If you're planning to dive in Perhentian (Kecil), we highly recommend Lekker Divers!
EXCELLENT Based on 66 reviews Tina26 September 2024Verified A great dive shop. An excellent friendly place to learn and improve your diving skills. A lovely atmosphere always a smiling face. Jaja at reception always smiling and helpful when booking dives. A huge mention to BJ the dive shop cat, chilled and such a great character. Thank you to everyone for making my first (and not my last) trip to the island memorable. Iris H25 July 2024Verified Aanradertje! Many thanks to Lekker Divers and especially Nicola where I got my Advanced! Very nice instructor that you quickly feel comfortable with. Clear instructions even though my English is not that good and I found the specialty course Peak Performance Boayancy in particular surprisingly fun to do! Leon V3 July 2024Verified Thankyou Lekker Divers! Very happy with my choise to go for my PADI Open Water course with Lekker Divers. Amazing team, especially the expert lessons from Inge. Thanks! Aaron K28 May 2024Verified Iโd give them a six if I could I would rate them a six if I could. There are a LOT of dive shops in the perhentians and theyโre all good - they go to the same places (which are amazing!) and provide the same basic service. But they arenโt all the same. Lekker is special. First, their dive instructors are students of the fish to the highest degree. Our guide, Saho, is so automatic at spotting large fish that heโs started to specialize in very small but very interesting fish like brightly colored nudibranch, only a couple inches across. We told him what sort of dive we wanted and what we wanted to see and he delivered. We literally saw everything we requested. There is nothing he couldnโt find. But the second reason to pick Lekker is just the vibes. These people really like each other. Theyโre friends as well as coworkers, and it creates a space that is incredibly friendly, relaxed and easy. We had some trouble getting our dive info transferred over from PADI and I swear the entire dive team stopped everything to try to help us. Theyโre funny (shout out Apeace), friendly and deeply committed to giving you a good experience. Great job. I wish it wasnโt a 16 hour flight to come back! herumi o20 May 2024Verified Professional DC, Honest Staff & Fun Experience Obtained my OW & AOW with Aslam & Nicole way back in year 2017 when they were an instructor. And now they have opened their own beautiful DC known as Lekker Divers.I took the opportunity to dive with them again in this year as I know their professionalism & safety precautions.As a result, it turned out as an amazing dive experience. We were welcomed by their friendly staffs, outstanding services on the land & underwater, an honest, helpful & knowledgeable staffs.It happened to be that I lost my DiveComp in Lekker area. Thank god it was found by their staff by the name of Captain Ijat & returned it to me on the next day before my morning dive. Aslam & Nicole should be proud of having an honest staff like him. Overall, Lekker Divers is a trusted & professional DC to choose from for you out there. And believe me youโll enjoy your stay & dive experience with lots of funs.Bedankt Lekker Divers!!! ๐ค๐ผ AdilaJ25 April 2024Verified Best Dive Centre! Lekkers diver team so amazing! They are so supportive and friendly. I completed my open and advance open water course with instructor Apisz. Thank you Apisz for being the best instructor that every new diver needs๐ซถ๐ป Davy v23 April 2024Verified Lekker Divers Nothing but good things about the troopers from Lekker Diving! During our preparations, Nicole helped us out like a true travel agency, figuring out which busses and boats to take; can be a puzzle. And also during our stay, we felt welcome and at a good spot by the entire team. Everybody was truly involved and helpfull. We took an Open Water and Advanced course in groups, well and easily guided by the professional staff. The school was situated at a good spot and all equipment and other things clean and at our disposal to use. Chilled vibes at the lounge included.These guys are a true reccommendation. Big shout out to Nicola, our instructors Saho & Nicola and of course the rest of the crew! Rachel H21 April 2024Verified Great Dive Centre With an array of dive companies to choose from on the Perhentian Islands it was very difficult to know which one to go with. We were staying on Long Beach so explored all the options in the area, they all looked good but Lekker stood out for its fresh appearance, welcoming reception and enthusiastic staff. We did 5 dives with the team throughout our holiday. Aslan and Nicole the owners, were hands on and very helpful. The whole team were friendly happy and very professional. Sadly the visibility was not quite as we had hoped for due to some unusual bad weather but Apis, Saho and Nicola led our dives very well and they, together with the boat captains made each dive a memorable and fun experience. Relax4455100535713 December 2023Verified Awesome!!! My favourite diveschool on Perhentian Islands! Lekker Divers is based on Long Beach, a beautiful bay in a tropical paradise in Malaysia. I've been diving with Aslam and Nicole for a few years now and they guided me with a lot of knowledge, experience and fun through my courses and fundiving. Their passion for the ocean, fishes, corals and diving is very contagious! The whole Lekker team will for sure make you feel at home. They are very hospitable and always in for a good laugh. Before you know it, you may never wanna leave;) Jazsley28 November 2023Verified Proposal to my girlfriend with Lekke Divers Lekker Divers was amazing. I wanted to propose to my girlfriend however i was wondering what is the perfect opportunity. I decided to engage Lekker Divers for photography and planning during my girlfriend's dive trip. The pictures they took was beautiful. Aslam's planning is quite meticulous as on where and when should the big question be asked. I want to thank Lekker divers for this moment. It will be forever remembered. I highly recommend Lekker Divers!
