Summary  I thought to go somewhere I have never been yet.
However I knew the Weh Island, I have few imformation about the island.
I checked imformations of diving centers, and found out several ones.
And then I decided to go there.
Itinerary Weh Island is located north of the Sumatera Island.
We need to take a ferry from Banda Aceh where is norther most tip of the Sumatera Island to the Weh Island.
I chose Kuala Lumpur some of the layovers with the Air Asia.
One night in each Kuala Lupur and Banda Aceh, diving for 3 days.
Staying nowhere on the way back, killing time for 4 hours in the Kuala Lumpur Airport. 
Kuala
Lumpur
I usually use the Tune Hotel KLIA Aeropolis when it needs to stay one night in Kuala Lumpur.
I stayed in KL Central in this time, as I was able to go around in the morning.
It was very cheap for MRY30 round trip between the airport and city center.
 
 
  I was wandering from the KL Central to North, and then near the Masjid Jamek.
I thought to go inside because for the first time in a while, but it was closed as friday.
 
Banda Aceh I went around the big mosque and the park near by.
I had problems of booking hotel in a row with Agoda.
Customer service by Agoda was getting worse than before.

Home
There were many people on the way back to the port, they arranged taxis for IDR75K a person.
We departed 6:30 AM and arrived the port at 7:30, but speed boat at 8:00 was sold out.
I got a big ferry it took two hours to Banda Aceh, actually it was even better than getting earlier.
After arriving the port, I had lunch and headed to the airport.
It seemed to held a domestic sport event in Banda Aceh, it was crowded in the airport with tracksuit people.
I spent several hours in the Kuala Lumpur Airport, and arrived in Kansai Airport next morning.
