There aren't many choices for you out there if you are just looking at Peninsula . So just choose whichever one you feel like going to, based on whatever factors you decide it on - budget, convenience, distance, duty free, feeling lucky, etc.
There are all pretty much the same. Different divers have different preference, one could like macro diving perhentian, while another like the cheap booze in tioman, or another had seen whaleshark in tenggol, or another happen to encounter 40m visibility in lang tengah. Just some examples.
Only difference is East Coast is subjected to monsoon season.
Thanks for this helpful info. I was amused by the feeling lucky part haha. Anyone care to share their experience in this area? Haha. Anyway, for me I would prefer somewhere with massage and a duty free area for the alcohol is a plus point. Which location fit ur criteria for u? I have been to Tioman a few times but I do not like the travelling to Mersing. Roads are unforgiving.

It seems like you're mildly offended by Evan's reply, but what he said is true. You asked a broad question without stating anything about your preferences, so the best answer is to ask you to figure out what you want for yourself
When I knew nothing and was looking to take OW, I first chose a location with my criteria being 1) decent 3G internet
2) massage 3) a modest town that's neither too big nor too small. Then for the dive center, I chose one mainly based on how professional they were - prompt and detailed communication, informative website, well-maintained shopfront, etc. It worked out well for me.
Well , I was not offended but its better for someone who does not want to answer to queries by shutting the heck up. That's how I deal with it! Might as well say nothing at all if there isn't anything to say. Newbies tend to make mistakes and ask silly questions. Haven't we all been at that stage before? So yeah Evan could have chosen to STFU. Haha.
Anyway thanks for your info also bro. Truly appreciated. Care to share which location fit ur criteria?
