Comments	Lots of Aussies for Borneo divers (BD); but, Lu was quite NICE. My 2nd week was at Uncle Chang's resort (UC) which was budget but 1/2 the price of BD; but, only 3 dives at sipidan compared to (BD) which took us to Sipidan twice with 4 dives ea. time; Borneo divers had hot / warm water for showers in your room; Uncle Chang had cold water and no desk in the room; but, UC had lots and lots of girls and Asians and European divers; UC had a live band Fri. and Sat. nites w/ lots of fun; UC, himself even gave out free pints of rum; UC also donates lots to charity and churches as posted in the newspaper. For me, the cost savings and fun was a lot better at Uncle Chang's resort which is close to Borneo divers. My Scuba is next to UC. And, per my roomate, the food at My Scuba was more than excellent. Lots of sharks, turtles and bumphead parrot fishes at Sipidan. Lots of nudi, turtles, croc. fishes, etc. at Mabul and Kapalai.
