you got your temporarily card what... why so hurry?

foods & drinks in perhentian are expensive...

Donald duck fin...

For Discover scuba normally is less than 10 meters. PADI standard is minimum 24 hours. That is for safety reason. If you have a dive computer. It will show the exact "No Flying" time depending on your dives.

That is motion sickness. I will have that too if the sea too rough. So shouldn't be any problem...

Don't worry too much about that. Normally you don't need to get any equipment. If you wearing glasses maybe it is advisable to get your own prescription mask. Other than that, dive center can provide you with all the equipment. And also don't expect dive center will provide you with super comfortable mask or top of the model equipment. This is why some would prefer to get their own equipment instead of renting. And for some people, due to hygiene reason, some will prefer to have their own wetsuit/rash guard. Imagine wearing a suit that have someone pee/"lalala" in it... If you need more information about getting your own equipment. we have many expert in this group...

let me do a comparison about wearing contact and prescription mask

Contact Lens
Pros
- Able to see even not wearing your mask
- Can use both surface/underwater
- Can wear sunglasses outside

Cons
- Might drop out
- Dry Eyes/not comfortable - need eye drop
- Time consuming - some might take time to wear

Prescription Mask
Pro
- One time deal
- Comfortable
- Worry free, dont have to worry contact might drop
- save time.

Cons
- you wont be able to see once you take off your mask, unless you want to wear your mask running/walking around the boat/resort/dive center
- limited prescription - 0.5 increment only , so not very clear. Only for short sighted. For Astigmatism. Too bad
- only certain model can addon prescription lens.

wah, your gauge rosak or you super hardcore?

Hi welcome... what type of advice are you looking for? why not telling us your budget and what do you want? split fin can cost you from 400-800 new. MIDE you can get around 400 for a new one while other depends on what type of brand are you looking for...

I have been using the same one like munkeyflo selling for almost 4 years. No complaint so far, the only complaint is people kept accidentally took my fin because too many people use the same one, until i have to make a special mark there... Hmm, you need to fin harder when fighting strong current, other than that you dont need to use many/any energy to fin... But how often you fight with strong current in malaysia right...?

Hi, welcome... let us know what's your budget before we can recommend some brand/dive center for you...

you have never been here...

You dont have to use tusa mask with tusa snorkel, you can get tusa mask and some other brand snorkel... hmm, long adventure, near my house... will go survey see see.. but you going diving soon? why not wait for MIDE? i'm sure they have better bargains and you can test/see all products there...

If watershot housing should be scuba symphony. Those people are like that... because their customer mostly are expats... so they dont care

my advise, wait for MIDE if no hurry... 1st Week of July... PWTC. we will make a gathering there as well... if you can join

but then i only went there last saturday.... they are not so unfriendly towards me lah, maybe i bought stuff from them before...

aww, that's too bad. Maybe you can ask your friend to buy for you?

hmm.... maybe that's the reason... but i don't go there to buy expensive thing what... but i agree some stuff there might be cheaper... not all... some

next time we go together... i nego for you... hahahaha

how many mask do you have now?

dont jealous kay evan, you got one from munkeyflo already what...

Why not you go and try out all the equipment before you buy it? Mabul? Sipadan water village? why still snorkel when you can dive?

the 2 chinese lady there, one is boss lady and one is the best sales person in the shop. Don't worry you have plenty more shop to go? if you don't mind me asking, where are you from? there're lots of other good dive shop around.

Yes waterproof bag is useful when going for a dive, especially when are going far away for a day trip dive, you can keep your towel dry, mineral water, your cellphone(not recommended) and some cash...

you will be swimming with the fishes if bad weather...

you don't kacau...

hahaha, who say cannot dive on the first day? unlimited shore dive what, don't want to do ah? you can't fly after dive, not before... Why you always go those place that so high class one ah? i remember the last time we had this gathering in mid valley, that attendants close the door don't let us in... because it's almost closing time.

For drybag... hmm, any brand will do. as long it serves the purpose.

wear booties or like what you said, wear a socks... ask Evansoon to buy you one, he is famous for buying people booties and also giving away diving socks for free... but he don't want to give me
