Not sure if I've mentioned this in the other couple of threads I've posted but I'm heading out to Malaysia and Indonesia in July for three months of diving including possibly a DM internship. Now money won't exactly be tight but I can't really afford to do too many expensive things (I've still got the mortgage to cover in the UK).
I've got a rough itinerary but I'm wondering if I'm missing anything out or heading to places I shouldn't really bother with.
For the first three weeks I'll have a friend with me so the idea is to fly into Singapore and from there head up to Tioman for a few days, on to Redang and thence to Perhentian (where a friend runs a centre, which might well be ideal for DM'ing). From there my friend returns to the UK and I head off to Sabah and Semporna for Sipidan.
After that, well I was thinking of heading to (via Balikpapan and Palu) to Sulawesi and the Togian Islands followed by the Bunaken islands and thereabouts (Manado, Lempeh).
Finally fly down to Bali and to be joined by my non-diving girlfriend to spend the last three weeks with her. Although I'm sure I can manage a few days in the water in that time!
So, if it's not too much trouble to ask, am I missing out on any good opportunities? Must see experiences in or out the water?
