QUOTE(b5n111 @ Aug 6 2013, 01:27 PM) Welcome all divers... new and experience You should also ask your DM to suggest a site where you can drift dive, I can't currently recall the name of the sites. Not many sites in Malaysia where you can drift dive. It's very fun, relaxing and exciting at the same time.Question: Besides Barracuda Point, which are the sites that i should / must dive at Sipadan? Why and what can be expected from the sites suggested?  |

QUOTE(aroyo @ Aug 6 2013, 01:30 PM) Info on 1st page is very comprehensive already. Yups. Most are getting or have an insurance. I might get DAN next year.kudos to the team putting it up. can't emphasize enough on the insurance part every diver should have, either DAN, other insurance companies or from your work, make sure they cover diving emergency. cause shit happens, and i've seen it with my own eyes Let us know if u think any other info should be up there too maybe we missed out a dive shop or some EQ. |

QUOTE(kimseng @ Jul 23 2013, 11:54 AM) I missed out on the customs and excise duty part. bro, my BCD bought in USA via online was cleared as tax free item by Customs & Excise in POS MALAYSIA BERHAD KLIA SEPANG, and i only paid for Documentation Fees, nothing else ... how come it contradicts with your statement ? Almost all equipment with the exception of scuba regulators and dive computers are subjected to customs and excise duty for import into Malaysia. Just be mindful, and do not get a shock when the courier company asks you for customs and excise duty payment prior to delivery to you. my BCD is a full set, and yes it costs around RM24XX, i did not save that 10% like you mentioned if buying here ... but more like a 30% savings which equivalent to RM1000++ just for one particular item ... maybe you got your info wrong dude. |
