KK is OK - a bit of a concrete jungle after Kuching though. Get out to the islands from the KK jetty - beautiful.
Taxi drivers operate on a fixed price basis and collude to make sure that the fixed prices are about 3 times what they should be!!

Would not recommend the water-village tour. Very dirty up-close with lots of trash thrown in the water. A definite turn-off.

Taxis services were variable, some I know really overcharged us, why do you not have meters? Internal flights were very well organised. The people we met were very friendly and helpful.
The country is beautiful. Some of the trips can be long and tiring, more information should be given out before trips are booked, as we saw some older people who were really struggling on some of the trips, it is only fair that they are told how strenuous some of the trips are going to be.
Went to spidan for diving this was well organised, however there is no mention anywhere of which months are good or bad to dive there. We were told that in August a lot of Italian divers were very angry that they were not warned that August could be a bad month for scuba diving due to weather condtions. They were going to make a big complaint. To not let them know up front weather condtions is not fair as the cost of diving was very expensive, and if you do not dive it has been a waste of money.
