QUOTE(billygunny @ Jun 4 2013, 08:51 AM) ic.. any ideas where to get a good yet cheap ones?? haha in Klang or PJ area.. there are not many dive comp which is cheap. but all dive comp are supposedly goodfor a basic dive comp which is cheap, you can try to look for suunto zoop or mares puck pro (below 1k). But they are big and can't be used in everyday's activities. or for a watch size dive comp, you can see d4i (i think around 1400rm) for the shop, I don't know too much, maybe the other can guide you |

Basically you need to know which one you are getting and ask them whether they have it or not. The price will not differ too much. If your friend's bday is not so soon, maybe can wait till MIDE held on first weekend of July to look for good deals. |

QUOTE(billygunny @ Jun 3 2013, 11:45 PM) erm.. he gonna just only gonna start learning diving.. so is it feasible for us to get the computer so soon?? and if diving watches any recommendations? Not much utility in a dive watch for actual diving, except for counting your bottom time and making sure you surface in time for tea time at the resort.But if you must, I think the Seiko divers are rather popular for that sort of money. I too would recommend a dive computer instead. The Suunto D4i goes for around RM1,400 IIRC and will look good over and under the sea. Or a Zoop (I got mine for slightly below RM800) if budget does not permit, though the Zoop is to be worn during dives only (you'll look silly wearing a Zoop on land). These 2 computers are fairly standard issue, and most dive shops in the Klang Valley should carry it. Last time when I was shopping around for my Zoop, I found that most shops were selling it for around the same price. |

QUOTE(billygunny @ Jun 3 2013, 11:45 PM) erm.. he gonna just only gonna start learning diving.. so is it feasible for us to get the computer so soon?? and if diving watches any recommendations? the first thing we recommend is dive comp... QUOTE(tantalus @ Jun 4 2013, 12:01 AM) I think better to buy dive computer directly.. 10 dives a day... At first also i was thinking to buy dive watches.. So I bought it but I never use it when diving as it's not practical.. and dive comp is really important (from my point of view) especially if you want to do deep dive and multiple dives per day. So i bought the simplest dive comp which is zoop QUOTE(billygunny @ Jun 4 2013, 08:51 AM) ic.. any ideas where to get a good yet cheap ones?? haha in Klang or PJ area.. maybe you can wait until MIDE? most of them will have around 10-30% discount.

QUOTE(Pandaman @ Jun 3 2013, 08:10 PM) Haha. Its okay juniorkirk. Let's wait for others. wow... luckily you din blow your lungs out.... never force yourself to dive if you feel uncomfortable.... I always skip dives on the first day if I drove overnite.....Anyway, during my OW license recently, I almost failed. In one of compulsory dives (12m), I had problems with my mask. The water kept leaking in and I had to clear my mask almost all the time. I got very uncomfortable and finally when I reached the bottom and kneeled down they asked me to do the regulator recovery drill exercise. I was not too comfortable with the idea because I was feeling uncomfortable with the whole thing but I did it anyway. I threw the regulator but I could not recovered it. I got panicked and quickly signalled out of air. He tried to give me his alternative reg but I was so panicked I pushed the reg away. In my mind all I wanted was to swim up and resurface. So I quickly swam up and as soon as I reached to the top, I felt alive and relieved. Near death experience, not pretty. I didn't continue my dive. I resumed my dive the next day and luckily this time I managed to wash away my trauma and got it done. All the drills. But it wasn't easy. Things I learnt from my dive license 1. My face can only fits cressi big eye mask ( tried scuba pro and few other masks my DM gave me but cress I works the best. No leak whatsoever haha ) 2. I have to use bigger mouth piece. Bigger space to bite. Peace of mind haha. |

I always skip dives on the first day if I drove overnite..... Yeah i was lucky. Probably because i was at 12m depth. Panic attack all i wanted to do was to resurface. Hopefully it will never happen again. |
