Borneo Diving Tips wanted

We are looking at going Diving in Borneo over the next few
weeks and wondered whether this was a good season to go,
whether the diving is good at the moment, and whether there
is access to reasonable vegetarian food.
We want to leave from Australia, and are wondering whether
it is better to have a package from Australia or get a
package of some air fare / accommodation, then dive for a
few days, visit the mountain for a couple of days, visit
the orang utangs for a day, perhaps spend a day in KL
shopping on the way back.
We have been significantly unimpressed with the lack of
knowledge or help from Travel Agents.
Does anyone know if it is cheaper / easier to get
accommodation / dive tours / trek tours over there or from
Australia before leaving?
Oh, in the LP Malaysia Singapore & Brunei book on page 511
the phone for Borneo Sea Adventures is actually their fax
only number.
Looking forward to any and all comments.

  1. Can you help me? Added by: Justin

    Can't help you out....but was hoping if you managed to find
    anything out, could you let me know. I too am planning to
    go to Borneo for a little while and am trying to establish
    the possibility of organising things once I got there, to
    avoid all the overpriced tours. I won't be diving...but am
    hoping to take in as much as I can.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Justin
