I actually live and work in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. The monsoon is gone and there are plenty of resorts are doing early bird specials now before the peak season starts in May.

Usually early bird months can get about 40% off the rates. In May, one can almost never find any available rooms in Redang (but Perhentian and Tioman tend to have more budget rooms, so the availability is better than high-end resorts in Redang)

Oh yes Jason, it's darn hot and sunny now. During monsoon season, it was depressing with non-stop rain and getting wet when driving to work.

Actually I stay in Kerteh (the petrochemical area).

Laguna Redang is having early bird special but only to the 1st week of April. RM268 for 3d2n per pax and only to the first 1,000 customer. I was thinking of booking but not too sure because of my upcoming trip to Sipadan will burn a hole in my wallet.

Hah, this is fast becoming another Malaysian thread eh? I thought the original poster was asking about diving in Singapore (or the lack thereof?)

Anyway, before we bombed this thread any further: Jason, Kerteh is in Terengganu and very close to Tenggol island. The only reason I haven't dived there is because it is too expensive. I always hated how they are charging for boat transfer on top of dives + accommodation.

I did one dive in Singapore many many (over 10) years ago!
My buddy and I lost each other so many times (though when we surfaced, we realised we were about 10 feet away from each other), we eventually decided to hold hands!
Still didn't work, she she flung my hand away because apparently I dragged her into a rock(ooops, well i couldn't see it right)!
We gave up!

Some friends who live in Singapore tried a days diving at Pulau Salu. They put up some pictures here: http://www.villa-emerald-garden.com/duikenSingapore.html . As you can see the visiblity isn't very good.

So... This diving in Hantu, any dive shops to recommend? SGD 50 for 2 dives sounds reasonable. I'm paying almost USD 100 for 2 dives at Nusa Penida in Bali...

F/E
