Dugongs in Asia

I am planning a very long weekend from Singapore for my girlfriends birthday in June or July and would love to blow her mind by getting to dive/snorkel with Dugongs. Can anyone recommend the best places? Is there a best time of year? I have read about Dugong dive centre in the Philippines which seems to be good. Has anyone been? Thanks.

Hi,

I seem to recall a place called Mantanani island in Sabah, Malaysia which was reputedly to be the place to see dugongs. I think you can search for the info in Tourism Malaysia website.

Cheers,

barttrigger.

Thanks, will have a look now.

This suggests that the Dugongs may not be there anymore. Sounds like the diving would be good anyway!
