depends where in Malaysia. I know the perhentians and lang tengah etc are from november till the end of January. some resorts close over this period

Simplistically - West coast is good in Dec/Jan (winter), and east coast in good in June/July (summer).
But it does also rain all year.

Yeah, I would stay away from Tioman / Aur / etc... starting mid-October, and that's already pushing it (unless, of course, you have a really strong stomach, cause the seas get really rough on the ride out)

East Malaysia is also out, due to rain.

hmm...i heading up to tioman on the 14th-16th oct...is that time dangerous?...i had experienced and know how rough the waves could get on the way out...it aint pretty...Do you think i can squeeze in a trip either on the 3rd week or 4th week of oct?

Sure if you're stomach can handle the waves...

Hi

I just arrived from Sipadan (borneo's west coast) and they sale september is out moonsoon season (moonsoon from october to march) but rains every day and we've had strong wind every night and high waves some days. Divemasters (not officially) say that better season is juny and july (not far). Underwater life is not so much good after july.

Good luck
