A little about Lekker Divers

We are Lekker Divers, your go-to crew for discovering the underwater world around our little paradise known as the Perhentian Islands. We’re open from March to October, stationed right in the middle of Long Beach on Pulau Perhentian Kecil (small island). We speak English, Malay, Dutch, Hokkien, Cantonese, Mandarin and Hakka. So no language barriers here. Families, adventurers, solo seekers – everyone is welcome at Lekker Divers.
Whether you’re a scuba newbie or an experienced diver, we’ll be your dive buddies, island family and a little home away from home. We have more than a decade of experience in diving and teaching around the Perhentian Islands. Now from our new, beach-front dive shop.
We’re all about making your dives safe, unforgettable and most of all: fun! You will leave the water with a giant smile on your face, that’s a promise. So… what are you waiting for? Pack your swimmers and sunnies and take the plunge!

Five stars is simply not enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The professionalism, quality and expert team are completely unmatched. Not to mention all the laughs and good times! 😃🤙🏼 Every dive was well planned, safe and so much fun! The equipment are new and well maintenanced. Service here is top notch 👌🏼 I've been lucky to dive with Lekker three separate times now, and I also completed both my PADI Open Water and Advanced certifications here. Huge thanks to Apizshuk and Saho, my amazong instructors, I couldn't have asked for better teachers! Massive love to the whole crew; from the dive instructors and dm's to the reception and boat teams 🔥 Its definitely not a good bye, but see you again, hopefully soon!! Ps. Yaya you're a superstar ✨ Mégane Landouar23 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Très bonne expérience chez Lekker Divers où j’ai passé mon Advanced Open Water. Pour ceux qui ne sont pas à l’aise avec l’anglais il y a des instructrices françaises 😊. Zoe Harris23 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're staying on Long Beach, this is the best dive centre for professionalism, safety and marine conservation! I just did one dive with them as I was staying and diving with Quiver on Coral Bay (also highly recommend) and I was diving with friends, but everything is very well run and the team are so friendly. Lex Soog22 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good dive shop and good value for money. Super friendly team and good divemasters. Gear could be a bit newer/better, but ok, not a problem. The boats are small but also the dive sites are close, so no problem. Highly recommended for some fun dives.

Teng Kong Yew19 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did 5 fun dives with Lekker Divers and the experience we had was absolutely amazing. Everthing was well organized and everyone there was so friendly. Huge shoutout to our divemaster, Mike who patiently guided us beginners divers and showing us underwater Perhentian. You're awesome! Cant wait to be back soon! Deyan Girardclos18 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An UNFORGETTABLE experience! What can we say about this dive club? We chose to do our Open Water with you… and what an amazing decision it was! Everything exceeded our expectations : the atmosphere, the family spirit, the professionalism, the kindness, the dive sites, the center... absolutely everything! The whole team is not only super professional and great at teaching, but they also share their passion with so much joy. Every day was a perfect mix of learning, laughter, and unforgettable moments. And when we talk about a “family spirit,” it’s not just words, we truly felt supported and cared for, whether it was finding a place to stay, a taxi boat, or even just a good spot to eat. We felt at home… only better! And of course, a huge shoutout and heartfelt thank you to our amazing instructor Maddy : your patience, good vibes, and kindness made all the difference. Thanks to you, this adventure will stay with us forever. A massive thank you to the whole team. Don’t change a thing — you’re absolute gems! Hope to see you again sometime soon! 💙🤙 Alannah Kavanagh16 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did my Open Water with Saho at Lekker and I couldn’t rate my experience highly enough. Every single person who works there is enthusiastic and friendly, they make you feel part of the family from day 1 and I didn’t want to leave! I was nervous starting the course but I felt calm the moment I got in the water. I can’t wait to do more diving on my travels - huge shoutout to Alia and Jaja who encouraged me every step of the way ❤️
