hello, I am trying to get a scuba license in may at pulau perhentian or pulau redang. do you guys have any contact who can provide the course?
I am going alone by the way.
*
Depends on which location you are located and if you want to do fully at the island or theory in mainland and 4 exam dives on island.

Keep in mind going alone would normally include daily surcharge.

I have no other options, my friends are not into the activity.
I am thinking of having 4 days course at 1 of the islands. Any contact I can get from?
and can you please comment on this? I only heard PADI before, never heard of SDI.
SDI
*
There are a few different type of certification.. like PADI, SDI, NAWI and a lot more.. All teach u about the same things but it all depends on the instructor. SDI is normally cheaper than PADI.

just to warn you that doing everything on the island is tiring and u are not used to the water(surge and current) it might stress u out a little. As for recommending a place to do it all on island I am not too sure. Need Juniorkirk to help u. he is our "big boss"

My instructor just filled up the part with his detail.  i just filled up my portion only. after that he said we need to post it ourselves.
just need to pay Rm1.40 for the stamp. (added RM4 for registered post/ RM80 for Pos Laju  shakehead.gif )
It will take about 2 weeks to reach there.

meanwhile, there is another form where we can donate certain amount(10 aud, 20 aud, 50 aud etc) in order to get special edition certified card  thumbup.gif
(can help up the marine life)  rclxms.gif

Ohhh.. I didn't know about the special edition card.. Dam..

something like that.
Project Aware

Btw, how much cost you for the diving course package in Redang Kalong?
*
I paid 1750 for course and additional 260 for extra 1day + 2 dives. Than because last day i was alone so got 80 surcharge.

But quite enjoyable and relaxing cos the beach there is empty

cool, if we didn't rush for flight, we would stay another day for extra dives.
just find out most of the resorts squeeze in long beach. Kalong resort so isolated.  ohmy.gif

I will be going to perhentian or redang from 12/05 - 17/05
how much do i willing to pay, thats what i am trying to find out here, i dont know the rate for the license, but i am willing to pay around RM 700 to RM 1.3K
But it would be better if I could join a team instructed by anyone you guys might knew. So that I can use the money for other purpose.
*
The price would be about 1300.. and the accommodation might not be so good.

If you do it in perhentian and stay at a dorm it would reduce the accommodation fees to RM50 per night.

Hi there, normally in perhentian, they will use scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) gears.

I think you mean this? this one is not consider as scuba...  laugh.gif

About 10% divers remain active after 10 years from the day they got their OWD who will dive more than 20 dives a year. This sport has quite high drop out rates.

In order for myself to run out of diving kakis... i need to recruit more.

no need recruit.. Join us~ hahaha
