Water Temp is only around 17C now, are you sure that you want to dive/snorkel here?
Sharp Island and Hoi Ha in Sai Kung are good places for snorkeling.
For scuba diving I am afraid that you have to join local diveshops like pro-dive, diving adventure or diving express...to some remote islands like Basalt Island and Nine-Pin Island.
Visibility here can varies from less than a metre to 10m, depends on wind speed and direction.

i'm afraid HK is not known for wonderful diving,
but the shopping is good and while you're here, you should check out a few of the dive shops!
i'm sure the stuff here is much cheaper than many places and the variety is quite large!

Gong hei fatt choi!

I see. I heard that in general, the wet suits are cheaper in HK. It is just wet suits or for all gear? Masks, snorkels, knives, torches, etc?

i think MOST things are cheaper here,
especially if you get quite a few things (and not stuff that's already discounted) you may be able to bagain and negociate a little for the final price.

good to know what you have in mind and the approx pricing before you start shopping so you know when you've got a bargain

fins were damn cheap last i looked, they were doing specials in some of the shops

oh, btw
if you're interested in cameras and housing,
i think they're really cheap here too!
