where do you take ur OW course? and with which organization?

aw too bad you have bad experience on your first OW. Instructor shouldn't be scolding, they should teach you patiently as OW course is a beginner course..

but you should try diving again, just try for fun dive. and maybe if can, join us for our next trip. there are lot's of sifu that can mentor/help  thumbup.gif

Sometimes scolding is needed so u remember. I've seen some students that really need scolding.. lol..

Yahh... i was tense especially when instructor always scold me not to do that, not to do this.
can't blamed him, coz it's all about safety. i understand that
almost drowned during mask take off clearing skill test. doh.gif
*
For me what is important is to remain calm and do the things u need to do.. if not comfortable just signal and go up slowly..

can't force yourself to do it if you dun feel comfortable..

I had problems equalizing on my 1st dive. I just signaled and move up a bit and than equalize.. the instructor also no choice but to follow me up a bit..
take ur own sweet time to do the requirements.. no need hurry.. instructors also should not hurry you and give u pressure..

Hi there, i am totally new to diving. Just wondering for in future if i would like to join u all for diving, do i need to have license first before i can join?
*
Yes you need at least an Open Water diving license to join for the trip or you would be diving at a different location with them and paying a much more expensive price.

For further information please refer to page 1 of the thread.

All those trip that you all go....so nice..

gear buying is not that important other than a few gears..
u need to get the license to gain the experience.. we have a wide range of divers from experienced to new.. the experience 1 will look after the new.. no worries..

During my last few OWD also I surfaced with 20 and 30 barr respectively...... It was due to my poor bouyency... quite high from the sea bed thus more currents against me causing me to use more energy..... I carry 5 peices of LEAD still damn slow to descend.... you can imagine how I look in real life  tongue.gif

Wanted to ask since different locations have different densities... how to render myself neutrally bouyent besides doing the fin pivot (cause honestly I don't see anyone doing it).. is there a short cut to get the ideal weights on my weight belt....  icon_question.gif

Thanks in Advance rclxms.gif
*
normally U do it once than u can estimate it already. I normally put 3 weights but as I dive I find that I could start using 2 weights but I still remain 3 cos easier for me to control.

But depends on BCD also.

I tried b4 coming out with almost 0 bar. fight current in Redang. 50 bar already signal go up.. when doing safety stop see left with almost 0. straight away take DM octo n suck. haha. Now breathing control better already so not so worried about this.
