Wow 5 dives! We only did 2 that day cos we had to head back to Singapore after lunch time. Btw, this may be a lil bit off the topic, but would you know how's the weather like in Redang on the third week of Oct? I'm planning to spend the holiday there for a dive. That would be Oct 26 til 28th...

yea altogether we did 9 dives during the trip.. weather condition in Redang at the end of Oct, not too sure.. but what i know is that most of the resorts in Redang will start closing in October, better check with the resorts.. some are open until end of Oct, and i think Laguna Redang is one of them..

Another dive center here is organizing the trip to Redang. Thanks, I guess I have to keep my options open then hehe

Dive without expectations! Best way to avoid disappointment. The plus point of going late season is you have most of the resort and dive sites to yourself! Happy diving! Which resort are you guys going to?

unfortunately, the scheduled trip is already full so we might be joining another trip in Tioman (Salang) instead. Still waiting for confirmation though ... i was suggesting to my buddy for us to just go to redang ourselves and just book a dive when we get there but he's not a risk taker, so ya, no redang

No risk need be involved, you could always contact the dive center first to confirm your dives and then go.

After husband had a wonderful weekend of diving on White Manta recently, he is trying to plan another one....in November...as our daughter (22) will be joining him for her first ever trip to Singapore...she loves diving so its a great opportunity for them both to do it together

BUT it would seem that White Manta is not based out of Singapore in November!...Any other liveaboards worth doing ?
Why is White Manta relocated then, is it because of the weather or something ?

Thanks in advance

Just back from 5 weeks walking across Spain... but you have already gotten good advice and information from some others here. From November through March, most people in Singapore get their diving fix by going overseas. There is diving in Singapore but it's more for the desperate than the faint of heart. Vis can reach 2 meters on a good day. Having said that, if you are guided or have very good eyes, there are definitely nice things to see here. The destinations of choice during the monsoon season depends on budget and the amount of time you have. Phuket and Bali can be good for budgets and shorter trips. Philippines, Borneo, and other parts Indonesia takes a little more travel time but are also reasonable.
