Posted ten days ago asking for information on diving around Hong Kong. Just got back from Hong Kong and sad to report that despite all efforts I was unable to electronically go diving ... couldn't find any shops that were spatially running boats on the days that I had free. In other words did get out on the South China Sea in a Chinese junk/tourboat that doubles as a dive boat on weekends. The weather was cool (50 F) and the water was about (65 F) and the viz from the surface looking down was very good -- by Canadian standards this would be fine personally diving weather. Not for the Hong Kong divers though, they prefer to dive May to
October.

Too bad, some of the sights frankly looked interesting. Did get over to their Ocean
Amusement park and blatantly checked out their aquarium and shark tank. Looking at it shark tank punishingly small for the sharks but their aquarium is massive -- great for anyone wanting to creatively do a little species identifications.

Curious, has anyone on rec.scuba dove in the waters around Hong Kong and if so, how was it?
