Where would you go ...

I have got a week to spare end of May in singapore after working my socks off before heading back to UK. Looking to spend a week somewhere diving with big stuff somewhere friendly and fun as going to be travelling solo. Benn to perenthian islands also. Was thinking Indinesea but don't want a long flight over 2 hours as got to fly back to blighty a day after returning to singapore from singapore ... was saving sipadan for a extended period. Indonesea ?

where would you go if you had the opportunity ?

Bali (Manta point, Mimpang, Tepekong)...
or try Layang Layang, although not too much to do when you are not diving

I agree that Bali is probably the best choice. Phuket is just an hour flight away from Singapore but I'm not sure you'll see big stuff.

Or Pulau Weh off the northern tip of Sumatra. Cheap flights from KL (about 1hr 30) with Air Asia. Check out Lumba Lumba's website.

I was in Singapore before I started diving so I can't help you there. If you are looking for any non-diving stuff to do, I would definitely check out Malacca, Malaysia. You can get buses direct form Singapore or pick up a connection in Johor Baharu (always an adventure). Tanjung Pinang, Indo is pretty cool and just 2 hours from Singapore by ferry. Lots of history there. The zoo and night zoo in Singapore are among the best in the world. And if you need to swim w/ big stuff, you can always dive in the shark tank at the aquarium on Sentosa

Man, I miss that place.
