Water Temp/Gear to Take:  Avg 85F in early November, 3mm full or 5mm shorty, Camera Gear for sure, Torches for night diving and caves, Sunscreen, DEET.  Very good visibility and good macro diving near resort.

Places to Go:  I stayed at the Tasik Ria Resort Spa & Diving, go to www.tasikria.com for further info.  Give 4 out of 5 stars.  Nice rooms, big pool, good spa, solid boats and good diving facilities. The food was ok. Recommend day trip to Bangka Island for white tip reef sharks, walls and good soft coral.
