Dive trips from Singapore

Every destination within reach, with when to go, how long it takes, and the sites on the map. Built from the season each region's operators actually keep, not a brochure.

A long weekend away

VietnamHòn TreNha Trang and Con Dao. A short northeast monsoon that ends the season rather than dents it.~4h 54m each way · best Mar–Aug · 3 sites
Tioman, Redang and the PerhentiansPerhentian Besar · Redang · Tenggol · TiomanThe crew's home water, and the most seasonal of the lot: the northeast monsoon closes it outright for a third of the year.~5h 30m each way · best Apr–Aug · 34 sites
Gulf of ThailandKo Tao · Ko Adang · Ko Lanta Yai · Ko MakKoh Tao and its neighbours run on the opposite calendar to Phuket — the gulf is at its best while the Andaman side is shut.~5h 51m each way · best Mar–Aug · 46 sites
Andaman and Nicobar IslandsHavelock · South AndamanIndia's side of the same sea, on the same southwest monsoon calendar.~6h 30m each way · best Dec–Apr · 12 sites
Andaman Sea — Thailand and MyanmarNorth Koh Surin · Ko Phi Phi Don · Ko Racha Yai · Ko Phi Phi LehThe Similans, Surin and Richelieu Rock. A hard season with a hard edge: the national parks close by decree, not by judgement.~6h 48m each way · best Dec–Apr · 35 sites
Komodo and the Lesser SundasKomodo · Siaba Besar · Rinca · Seraya BesarCurrent is the defining feature here in every month. The season decides whether you can get out to the sites, not whether they are working.~6h 48m each way · best Apr–Sep · 34 sites
Sabah and the Celebes SeaLankayanSipadan, Mabul and Layang Layang. Sheltered enough to dive most of the year, with one atoll that shuts completely.~6h 57m each way · best Apr–Aug · 5 sites
North Sulawesi — Lembeh and BunakenBunaken · Mantehage · Nain BesarA sheltered strait with no real off-season — one of the few places in the region you can book blind.~7h 24m each way · best Jun–Oct · 34 sites
Bali and Nusa PenidaLombok · Bali · MenjanganDiveable every month of the year. What moves is the water temperature and the rain, not the access.~7h 45m each way · best May–Oct · 57 sites
