Have been to Pulau Weh several times now. Although it is true that Aceh has the Shariah Law, you won't find any of that on PW. The atmosphere is laid back and people are very friendly.
Have been there both in February and September: February the water is clearer but not so many of the big boys, September, just before the Monsoon Season the water tends to be a bit on the murky side with at times strong currents but you really have bigger fish.
We stay in Iboih's Fina Bungalows (simple clean rooms with air con and en suite) and dive with Iboih Dive Centre just below Fina.
