Tour....

I did a similar tour to you a few years ago (Singapore, South Africa, Dubai)

Don't bother with Singapore... the water is dirtier than UK waters.
Malaysia is a totally different kettle of fish. I actually joined a
3-day organised trip from Singapore to an island off the east coast of
malaysia (forget the name), and did perhaps the best dives I've ever done.

If you can get them to include South Africa...drive down to durban for a
weekend, and do some dives off Aliwal shoal - the guys there are crazy
(in a good sense). Just watch out... on my return to jo-burg, I hung the
wetsuit in my shower, and was told on my return that night that the
cleaner had thought someone had hung themself!. Checking out was
interesting too - the manager thought I was nicking half the stuff in
the room with the size of my bags!

Hi there,

I recently got back from the US (this morning) and thanks to Lee I managed
to get an day's diving in Florida.

Now, I'm being sent on a tour, and of course the kit will be coming with me.
Does anyone have recommendations for operators in:

Singapore
Hong Kong
Malaysia
Sydney (if I can't be bothered to get a flight up north)

I got a busy couple of weeks coming up.

Darren
