Must see dive sites

[MikeSullivan]

I am planning on doing Koh Phi Phi, Sipadan, and Komodo diving this summer, are there any other must see's in south east Asia while I am over there?

You are better off with Similan than Koh Phi Phi.
Don't count off Philippines: Malapascua, Southern Leyte and Tubattaha(liveaboard) just to name a few.

I'd scratch Phi Phi off your list altogether..if you want to dive in Thailand look to the similan Islands or Hin Duang and Hin Muang. Agree with Centrals re the Phils although I have only dived Puerto Gallera. Look at North Sulawesi - Bangka, Lembeh and Bunaken. Raja Ampat should knock your socks off too. Heaps more great dive sites around - even some good sites around Bali and Nusa Penida/Lembongan to add to your list

depends on what you want to see

I second @Centrals for the Philippines options and @Wingy for Indonesia options - Raja Ampat is impressive.

What type of diving do you prefer?

You are better off with Similan than Koh Phi Phi.

Have to agree, forget Koh Phi Phi

...Sipadan, and Komodo diving this summer, are there any other must see's in south east Asia while I am over there?

Komodo and Raja Ampat are absolutely amazing! By this summer I assume you mean the summer in the Northern hemisphere, June - Sept?

Southern R4 could be difficult June-August due to high winds and rough seas, some liveaboards stay and do north R4 and the Dampier Strait is still easy to access at that time and there are numerous land based resorts in that area.

The North in Komodo National Park should be fine at that time. The South will probably be a bit green and chilly, so most liveaboards will only spend a day or maybe 2 in the south. But there are still plenty of sites in the North for many days of diving.

Best Fishes!
