Now back in Chinese hands I don't know if the BSAC club still operates there but there are dive operations.
The big stuff has been fished out but you still see a diverse range of smaller critters like damsels, octopus, sea worms.
There are 255 islands to explore so you shouldn't run out of sites. highlights are Tap Mun, fung Head, Long key, and Pak Kwo
On land the shopping is superb and it is the best place in the world to buy a suit!

I spent some time there back in '99 and contacted the local BSAC club on the island (South China Dive Club) they meet at the boat club in Aberdeen (south part of the island). They're a friendly lot and were very welcoming to me as a visitor, even loaning/renting some equipment. You can check out their website at click here Alternatively there's a club in Kowloon, but I don't know any details for them.
The diving there is similar to diving in this country, but warmer and of course different marine life etc. Viz can be good or bad, again similar to UK. WAter temperature when I was there (July/August) was 28-30 degrees, so I managed quite well with swimming trunks and a T-shirt. You may consider a wetsuit though as depths below 15m can reduce noticeably in temperature.
