Definitely. Some of them are new divers as well.
The rooms are not confirmed yet as I'm still awaiting the hotel to confirm the booking. Once confirm, we will have to meet up for TT or something andden pay money edi.

Actually should start planning when to TT first.

Yup.. Scubatexpro.. At usj.. Btw they got distributor/branch scuba station at kelana jaya..
Hahaa now i know the trick.. Use plastic bag? Hehee there is no wetsuit designed with zip at sleeve/leg?

Anyone got idea with my dizziness problem when dive&swim?

Attention for all divers,any diver planning to dive at Perhentian Island,we grateful to give special prices for accommodation ,boat transfer ,airport transfer and dive boat only for large group more 8 people above.This offer only valid for Lowyat Forum Only. Anybody Interested !!

Samurai, what hotels can you offer? We want room only. 3D2N on May 24-26th. If the hotel you can get us is cleaner than most and price is good, I'll book with you.

Speedboat transfer everywhere charge RM70/retun. How much do you charge?

Won't need airport transfer as we will be driving.

Some wetsuits has the zip but some does not. And even got also quite hard for me to go in. I'll take at least 30 min to get my legs into my wetsuit properly.

I would like to join if that is ok.
Wouldnt miss the historical 1st trip.

Price will let you know later...once you confirm for accommodation.

never wear a wet suit before but how do u use a plastic bag to put ur leg in?

Scubatex items seems really cheap.. can consider buying a wet suit there and a mask for beginners..

Yea Abdul chalet was our first choice actually, but couldn't contact them.
How many ppl can each room fit? Full payment needed or can pay deposit first?

How does sea horse divers charge? Universal divers is fine with us

Can can. 1 pax? Can someone organize TT session one of these days? I'm actually overseas right now so can't meet up with you all until after the 13th.

Try find video online for how to use plastic bag to wear wetsuit. I'm on mobile a bit hard to explain how haha.

Basically you'll need to put your feet into the bag then slide it into your wetsuit and pull.

Btw the mask from scubatex is awesome. Especially the full black one. Very nice to use.

Standard Garden Air Condition maximum 3 pax with 1 extra bed.

Standard Fan maximum 3 pax with 1 extra bed.

accommodation can accommodate 18 pax.

Deposit 50% and remain balance can pay at our office in Kuala Besut jetty.

I am thinking of getting it.. but maybe after a few dives.

Yeah, 1 pax.
Thanks

hello guys,

currently lookin for a dive comp..
any suggestion?
now eyeing for d6i or mares matrix..
what can u suggest me?
budget wise less than 3k..

tq..

wahh new thread ... add me to the list.. zaff1984 - certification: open water

btw for accesories like Masks, will there be discounts on MIDE (malaysia international dive expo) usually? I'm planning to buy masks, but will wait until MIDE ^^


PS: I have Sony NEX C3 camera, and too bad that it wasn't supported by ikelite or other good casing manufacturer (even if it's supported, its gonna be expensive -.-). But I have found some china casing like ini here:

http://www.lelong.com.my/40m-nex-c3-waterp...2-10-Sale-P.htm

But I read somewhere that it's prone to leak.. what do you guys think about it? anyone have experience with cheap generic casing like this?

In MIDE, some dive shop will offer up to 30% discount for diving equipment including mask.

Housing leak mostly are from the o-ring or buttons. I advise you to bring your housing down the 1st dive without your camera in it. Will write up more information about camera & housing at the first page later. But the housing you showed is not cheap generic, it is OEM quality
