Hello all,
joining from Europe my girlfriend after a conference in Singapore (in September), we're considering where best to go diving in the neighbourhood.
We prefer:
1) ideally, reachable with a direct flight from Singapore, to minimize timing
2) small, off-track sites (too much to ask for??)
3) if we could choose, a mix of reef & pelagic
We're investigating essentially Borneo:
-Layang Layang seemed the best option, but is closed in September
-Sipadan & Co. don't match any of the criteria above
-The Derawan islands match criterion 2, but not 1
Direct flights from Singapore appear to reach Miri, Kuching (Sarawak) and Kota Kinabalu. Am I wrong, or none of this destinations per se is as good as the offshore islands above?
Other suggestions? Doesn't NEED to be Malaysia. Been twice to Bali. Makassar? Balikpapan? Lombok?
Thanks, I know I'm asking quite a lot...
