OOT, but anyone ever do "dive with shark" in aquaria klcc? if yes, is it worth it to pay 400rm for that such short dive?

Its worth the price to pay if you want to dive with sharks, you can see everything in one dive...  laugh.gif don't need to spend thousand dollars overseas to dive with shark. FYI, the water temp there is around 18c.

I have saw like more than 10 sharks in 1 dive in thailand, but its only blacktip shark and it's not really close.. hmm maybe next time I'm gonna try it.. woot? 18c? hahaha crazy cold then..

Ps: I just discovered that there is also this programme on Aquarium in Singapore.. Think it's really worth more the price $120 sgd only (around 300rm) compared to klcc 400rm. And in Singapore they have bigger aquarium, so it's really worth it I guess..

Then my next trip to singapore I'll dive there hehehe

I just read some of the article in the first page. There should be correction for Advanced Open Water.

the mandatory courses are Deep Dive and Underwater Navigation. Previously night dives was also mandatory dives, but since 2006 it only became two mandatory courses.

its gonna be even better if you can PM your number to b5n111 so he can add you to whatsapp group chat (easier later for TT or confirmation). this group consist of the people planning to go to the perhentian in May

QUOTE(jakesean @ Mar 26 2013, 04:29 AM)
looking for one as well.. scubatex selling one at RM4x, and scubasymphony at RM1xx.. so pricey at scubasymphony..
*
hmm gonna try to look

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Mar 26 2013, 08:13 AM)
It's around that price. Cheapest I've seen is rm4x, ask for discount get rm38 if not mistaken. Using it for my camera as well. Good quality ones will cost rm1xx.
*
hmm is it the one below? (the link that you provided)

QUOTE(juniorkirk @ Mar 26 2013, 09:33 AM)
dont worry, i'm sure we will be organising another one...
you can search scubatex website, last time i remember they brought in those brass type hook, but what for you need those? those for heavy camera so when fighting current it wont break.  laugh.gif
why are you so interested?  hmm.gif waiting for ben to post first  whistling.gif waiting for ben to do report and write up on his trip only i update mine...
you also interested in discovery now? hehe  hmm.gif

I'm looking to find a good quality hook/ring (not plastic) so it will be more durable/ long lasting

QUOTE(babymiki @ Mar 26 2013, 12:06 PM)
Bought mine from 1U's sun paradise yesterday. Cost about RM4X. Sealantis selling for RM5X.
*
the one that you bought, is it plastic clip or stainless steel hook?

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Mar 26 2013, 12:51 PM)
The one in the Leisurepro link one is more heavy duty. Normally those cheaper ones use plastic hook only. Like this one.

http://www.scubatexpro.com/proddetail.php?prod=CL1

The important thing is that the hooks/lanyard/ties can hook onto your camera housing properly. Or else no point also if you get a heavy duty one. Some housing got no place to hook wan, some got small hole to hook only, some got bigger space to hook.
*
My UW housing doesnt have any place for hook or ring -.- .. so in the end maybe need to use the lanyard to fix it to the retractor (or maybe DIY nylon string?)

do you know plastic is still more reliable than steel underwater?  drool.gif
*
really? I believe plastic after a while, it will become brittle, especially if not protected.. but yeah, maybe I need to see first the quality of the build. I'm just afraid that it's easily break (you can read lots of people losing its camera because the plastic breaks)

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Mar 27 2013, 12:41 AM)
Mine is two side also plastic hook. If not mistaken, I got it from Global scuba (the one inside 1u's sun paradise) for RM38 or so. My camera not very big so it works fine for me. smile.gif
*
hmm.. maybe you can bring it in the next TT? for me to see what it's like. because seeing is believing smile.gif

Hello everyone! I have not been scuba diving for long time now. Now waiting to get back to the underwater world.  Has anybody been to Redang and Perhentian? Which has a better dive site?  If I am going to Perhentian (i intend to take up Advanced course), which are the dive sites I must not miss?
*
Hi jerry88, we are going to perhentian 24 may. maybe you could join us if you'd like.

but frankly I'm not sure if there is place left or not, but juniorkirk or munkeyflo can confirm that.

I've never been to perhentian or redang, so I can't give any comment about it

i more worry about the pressure in my ears cos make me pain..  shocking.gif
i can't imagine if without the reference line to hold while descent. i mean for newbie really depend on reference line to descent slowly, second can hold tight against strong current.  blush.gif

just try to keep equalizing every time, like every half meter or a meter when going down..
