Pulau Dayang Things to Do Tips by bpacker

Dive! Dive! Dive!

Honestly, the main draw over here is the diving. Most of us Singaporeans get our open water dives certified over here ( Those who are suicidal do it in the murky waters of Singapore ) . The shallower reef areas make an excellent spot for checking out and the deeper waters have all sorts of marine life. However, do note that the waters in the deeper parts have turbulent currents . Viz can drop too, particularly around areas like the Pinnacle and Rayner's Rock. So, if you're not ready to drift all the way to Vietnam, pack a good pair of fins. A 3n2d package trip over here will cost around $300 if you're a diver and lots cheaper if you're a non - diver. See the weblink below for more details.

Snorkeling and other activities

Even if you're a non-diver, you can do snorkeling in the shallower reef areas around dayang and aur. If not, you can fish, rock climb or simply sun-bathe in Dayang.

The best area in Dayang for Drift Diving

But staying at Pulau Dayang has its charms, there are beautiful white beaches for lovely walks and plenty of greenery. Now, Pulau Dayang faces Pulau Aur and in between the 2 islands is a narrow 400m channel that make an excellent area for drift diving.

The best time to plan a trip to Pulau Dayang

If you're keen to see clear and turquoise waters of Dayang, plan your trip around the March - September period. The temperature will hover around 32 degrees and the waters will be tepid making it excellent for a dive.

Pulau Dayang

Honestly, I would have preferred a live-on-board trip but hubby has a tendency to turn green at the mere mention of it , so we have to stay on Dayang island. About several times a day, we'll walk on the rickety jetty to the boat for our dive trips.
