If coming from abroad fly preferably to Changi Airport, Singapore as it is an easier, more direct route. The drive from Johor Bahru to Tanjong Leman, the staging point for Pulau Sibu is 2 hours. All new staff will be met by us at the Airport and taken to Pulau Sibu.

 

We do not pay your air fare. 

Any necessary or applicable paperwork is organised by us.

We do not provide staff with any medical insurance other than SOCSO where applicable. Foreign staff may wish to take out some travel insurance that covers repatriation. Our dive base staff are always first aiders and we keep a comprehensive first aid kit on the island. Should any staff need medical attention we take them straight to the National University Hospital in Singapore.

Mosquitoes & sand flies. We have a regular cleaning, fogging & spraying programme, which keeps the resort pretty clear. New staff are provided with Off spray for mossies and our own sand fly remedy to use but one does become immune (eventually!). We also provide staff with mossy nets if they would like (although none of us use them).

The only vaccination that we recommend is Hepatitis B. I know doctors and travel agents will tell you differently and the choice is entirely yours but it’s not necessary. We are also a Malaria free zone and you do not need to take Malaria tablets.

Notes:

 

Any type of facial piercing, including the tongue, is completely unacceptable (apart from earings). 

 

We expect our staff to be dressed smartly at all times and pay attention to personal hygiene.  Shorts and tee shirts are the order of the day but if you don’t want to iron your clothes do not bring clothes that need ironing! All staff are responsible for their own laundry. 

 

There is to be NO fraternisation between staff, it ALWAYS ends in disaster, be friends until the season is over!!!

 

And finally:

 

At the end of the day we are a small family business.  We try to create a family atmosphere between the staff and like all families we expect our fair share of tiffs.  We all help each other out.  If we suddenly ask you to watch the bar, paint a wall, run through the jungle to get Henry, the dog, back from another resort (since he’s too daft to come back by himself) or go to Tg. Leman for something we will expect you to help with a smile!
