About scubadive.courses
scubadive.courses helps Malaysian and Southeast Asian divers understand training, compare equipment and plan diving trips. Marcus Yee publishes the site and operates the TDB dive-centre network in Malaysia. Our pages combine practical editorial guidance with source links, while clearly identifying affiliate relationships, ownership connections and the limits of the available evidence.
Who Is Behind the Site?
Marcus Yee is responsible for scubadive.courses and operates the TDB network, including Tioman Dive Buddy and TDB SunBeach. The directory labels these TDB-operated centres and independently operated businesses separately. We state the relationship on each profile so readers can consider it when deciding where to train or dive.
The site serves as an information and referral resource. Gear purchases take place through the seller on Shopee, and course or trip arrangements are confirmed by the training provider. We do not operate a cart or take equipment payments here.
How Our Content Is Prepared
This edition uses AI-assisted drafting and editing to organise the original site material and checked public sources. Source links are provided for readers to inspect the underlying information. Published responsibility belongs to Marcus Yee; that byline does not mean every paragraph describes a personal dive or a hands-on product test.
Product comparisons explain their selection method and uncertainties. We do not invent test depths, instructor observations, review scores or customer experiences. A specification supplied in a catalogue is labelled or discussed as product information, and readers should confirm current details for the exact model and seller variant before buying.
Useful Advice Starts With Honest Limits
A course guide is preparation for a conversation with a qualified instructor, not a substitute for training. Equipment care information should be used alongside the current manufacturer’s manual. Individual fitness-to-dive decisions belong with appropriate professionals, and this site does not provide personal medical clearance.
We keep publication and substantive revision dates visible so readers can distinguish original publication from a later editorial update. Affiliate relationships are explained before outbound shopping links. Ownership disclosures accompany TDB coverage, and a centre’s published details should still be confirmed for the dates and services a visitor needs.
Corrections and Questions
If a model detail, course statement or contact link looks wrong, send the page address and the specific issue to the team. A link to a manufacturer or certification-agency source helps us assess it. Please avoid sending payment details or private medical records; the contact page explains how to direct different enquiries.
