Based in Kuala Lumpur, Big Ocean Dive (originally Scuba Mike’s) was founded in 2015 by Malaysian-born American Michael Grossman, who started diving at the age of 15. He began his career as a commercial diver working in the United States, and eventually found his calling back home in KL as a dive instructor.

As a nervous beginner, Scuba Mike's trainers were EXTREMELY patient and calm with me and got me, not only through the skills, but also very comfortable with the skills. Mike, Theresa, and Tim are so friendly, nice, and knowledgeable that they really become like family. The split picture of the two of us is right after our 2nd dive and my most dreaded ski...

Tim, is a very experienced diver and instructor. He knew exactly what to do when things got rough. ...

We love scuba diving with Mike, Tim, and Theresa! They have certified our whole family and we have gone to some of the best underwater places on the planet with these guys!

Our 2 boys aged 14 and 11 just completed their diving certification with Scuba Mike. Tim and Theresa are wonderful, patient, fun, encouraging instructors.

The organisation of the whole trip was seamless. Tim and Theresa made sure we were all...
