Singapore is surrounded by great diving sites, and, as there are many diving schools here, beginners can undertake courses leading to internationally recognised NAUI or PADI certification. Classes are held during the day or night, and often include a trip to a nearby island where you can practise your newly-acquired skills. With certification in hand, you are free to choose from the many spectacular diving sites along the east coast of Malaysia to discover and explore.
