Me and my GF are currently planning a 3-4 month backpacking/diving trip from mid January-late May 2011. I've been combing through various guidebooks, and tho I rarely post here I am a frequent lurker and have gotten many good ideas from research I have done in these forums. Our plan is to fly into Manilla and spend 5-6 weeks in the Philippines, where we would like to hit Anilao, PG, Coron, Malapascua, and Cabilao (or anywhere else that is worthwhile). Then fly over to Malaysian Borneo and hit up Sipidan and spend a few weeks doing the Borneo thing. Next spend a few days in Singapore then onwards to Indonesia where we definitely want to spend a while in Bali. I still currently researching diving in Indo and so far the places that are sticking out include Lombok/Gillis, Komodo/Flores, Togean Islands, and Bunaken. I would really like to go to Raja Ampat but we are going to save that for another trip. Then possibly onward to Thailand to finish up the trip.
I've done lots of research on SB so I know that there is info out there but anything new would be a big help. Basically I'm looking for any info I can get as far as recommended spots or places to avoid, Pricing Info, Transfers, good Operators, Conditions this time of year, or anyone who has done similar trips in the past.
We are experienced divers and we will be bringing our own gear.
Any information will be greatly appreciated if you have any specifics you want to share with me directly feel free to drop me a PM.
Many Mahalos in Advance!
