Greetings!
We just returned from a trip to Riau and the conditions were amazing. 10 metre viz, sunshine and flat calm seas all weekend. It is a must do weekend.
We have two more trips, one in January and another in February. Details below.
Note that it is possible to do 5 dives Saturday and 3 dives Sunday during these Riau weekends.
The Riau Archipelago is a cluster of islands south of Singapore, of which Batam and Bintan are the best known. However, once one travels south past the developed Batam and Bintan, a window opens into a beautiful and seldom visited world of the past, that it is rarely dived.
This is a land of countless uninhabited islands, interrupted only by the occasional small fishing village. Most of the locals live much the way they did several hundred years ago, without TV, refrigeration, electric lighting, telephones, motor vehicles, roads, grocery stores, hotels or the other trappings of modern society.
Best of all, these islands are sheltered from the N.E. monsoon, allowing us to dive the region year round. Seas in the area are generally calm and the diving is relaxing with a max depth of 25m and an average dive depth of 10-18m. Suitable for all divers, from newbies to experienced, looking for somewhere new and different to dive.
I look forward to diving with you soon.
