Back to the question, Did dive with Jeff and michelle (tioman eco divers) last august, they were professional and friendly. I like the resort that we stayed in right beside their dive shop; clean, affordable and close in proximity. Also dive regularly with Steffen Sea Sports (Perhentian)...

I agree with Albion, Stay in Sipadan first, see all the big stuffs, then head over to Kapalai, enjoy paradise and dive in Mabul. Kapalai is just amazing. The full length windows open out to the oceans with not a soul or boat in sight. Absolutely scenic. p.s. plus, kapalai does not have...

Rickg, I havent got the chance to dive there yet either but I believe the dive centre on the resort is owned by Pulau Sipadan Resort. You can do a search for their website. Anyway, the divingv at Lankayan is suppose to be a lot better than Sipadan in terms of tranquility. Sipadan can be...

I love diving Sipadan, just an amazing place to be. However, I must admit the vis has been getting worse lately, so for those who havent been there, better get there quickly. :) However, the next time I am there, I will do a mixture of staying at Kapalai and Sipadan. Sipadan is good for the...

Congrats on getting your Apeks .... I got mine a couple of months back ... love the reg to bits, like my little baby ...... :) Though I find the hose kinda short, might change to a DIR style to prevent the fatigue .... :D

Similans is considered one of the best in Thailand. :) But thankfully that is not all Thailand has to offer. As you said there is Koh Tao, Phi Phi, and also Trang within the South of Thailand region. The main difference would be that the Similan/ Surin Islands are almost always liveaboards...

Well, it depends a lot on when you are heading down. The East coast of peninsular malaysia 'suffers' from the monsoon season from Novemeber till about march. Some resorts close early while other later, vice versa for the opening dates. Thankfully, there are a couple of other dive sites on the...

I think I read somewhere in an article claiming that divers are one of the most fun groups of people to hang out with .... :) Maybe its the 'dangers' that we face whenever we go under ... who knows .....

neve, For the redang trip, I could shave you btw RM20-50 off the package. But no transport up and back provided. The resort will be redang bay resort, with 4 dives. Can actually check out www.wetworks.com.sg for the details or just email me. As for the wetsuit, ..... sigh, I really should...

Animian, Head up to Perhentian before the season ends, lest you have to wait till next year. And like Neve said, it takes just as long to get to Aur. Besides, my dive buddies when I head up were not AOW divers and we did a total of 8 wonderful dives. No deep diving below 25m though as our...

SeaBass, Head to Perhentian, Redang, Lang Tengah and there is this other island there which i could not remember the name. Those places are still good for diving during August. I believe if you head up to Phuket, you will be diving nearer to Phi Phi that side. As far as I know, almost no...

hi, stick to Perhentian Besar if you want A/C and better accomodation. If clean is good enough, then head over to Long Beach for one of the nicest stretch of sand you can find. Long beach is on Perhentian Kecil. Most of the operators on both islands are up to standard. And YCW is right...

Neve,, your perhentian trip report was truly entertaining, and not to mention detailed. well, at least a lot less complaints than mine. Reading the passage brings back memories of the place, ... and definitely would head back there to dive again. The best thing about doing it backpack style...

Thanks erwin.kodiat, but I am already back from Seoul, Suwon and Daejeon whereby I caught two kick ass matches; between Spain and Ireland followed later by Italy vs Korea. Fabulous fabulous time I had, diving or no diving. Well, something I wish to ask you, but I think I will use the PM. Thanks...

thanks for all your input everybody, but i just returned from perhentian and i thought it was fabulous!!!! wonderful visibility of close to 20m at times but usually in the 15m range which is a certain imporvement from what i have seen in the past year. anyway, the living was horrendous...

Scuba Board is indeed the best, have not found one better with regard to finding information and discussions fast. Was on divenet but they werent as good. as for Singapore dive forums, not to make them sound bad, but they are practically non-existent, I posted one on one particulAr website...

boy oh boy am i psych up abt the trip next week. better pass the message to the rest of my divers too so that everyone is prepared for the jellies .....sheeze...... alright guys, cheers;)

Hi, I just got news that I will be heading up to Korea, Daejeon area (near the middle) for a short period during the World Cup. Really keen to do a dive or two while exploring the country, region and was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of possibly doing any diving in that region. Or is...

Tommer, I agree the western side of thailand would be better to dive for the decemebr periods. in fact, i am probably heading up to the similan islands in decemeber when one of my dive friend (who is also a teacher) gets a break during the school hols. Got some contacts there that does LOB...

Yeah, the dive rates are not really cheap but I was hoping to be able to negotiate a lower rate since I have 5 other divers with me. The divers are all close friends of mine, all caught the diving bug and nowadays all we speak revolves ard diving. :jester: I believe Lang Tengah could be able...
