Hello. I usually plan family gatherings and dive trips separately. But I'm hoping to do both this time to Kota Kinabalu end of December to early January with family members who are older and don't dive. So, Mabul/Sipadan, Layang Layang are OUT of the question because I don't think there is anything there for them to do over there and it's not fair for me to dive while they stay in their hotel room. They are OK with shopping and sightseeing around KK while I go diving (day trips) so long as I meet them for dinner. I understand some divers train at Tungku Abdul Raman Reserve such as Pulau Marmutik. If you know the diving around KK, I hope you can answer my questions:
1. How is the diving around KK? I'm hoping to do 3 days of diving - is this too much or too little? I also plan on 2 days of sightseeing. It would help a great deal if you can recommend places to dive or sightsee around KK.
2. Do you know of any good hotels not far from KK (so my family can travel to KK) and travel agents/dive ops?
Thanks so very much for your help.:11doh:
