QUOTE(OldKidz @ Jul 21 2013, 05:40 AM) Uhmmm for hygiene purpose dont that get a wetsuit is good? Basically if get 2mm or 3mm wont goes wrong? Erm.. It depends on how much u care.. Cos if u think about it too much u might have to buy everything. Reg can have saliva, magi mee, vomit, fungus, etc etc inside. Wetsuit ppl pee n some poo n sweat in.. Mask ppl's snot is inside.. Bcd might not be old n faulty.. All depends on how u think n feel about it.. I try not to think about it |

QUOTE(OldKidz @ Jul 21 2013, 11:12 AM) LOLx, omg, now am really thinking to buy everything after reading ur comments. LOL Depends on what brand u wanna buy lor..btw, can list down the top 3 shop to buy diving equipment, some of the shop listed at 1st page might be selling more on package and course. I went to shop below: Scuba Dynamic (Desa Sri Hartamas, KL) Good service, yet will pay another visit. Olympia Air & Scuba Adventures (USJ Taipan) Price high, didnt even bother to try to nego. Scubatex (USJ 1) Good pricing, but stock limited, waiting for them to restock. Diver Den (PJ) Closed, the guy asked us to go back at Monday. == Seamonkey (PJ Palm Sport) More on travel packages and courses. Some of us like to buy from overseas cos if u buy a few items price can be cheaper than buy in malaysia Some items if u buy 1 item also cheaper than price u buy from shops evan after including shipping. Dive comp important.. Who wan buy mine?? Cheaper than dive shop |

QUOTE(OldKidz @ Jul 21 2013, 07:10 PM) Great idea, actually am thinking to buy mask with snorkel plus wetsuit with rash guard. For myself, maybe rash guard is enough or yet warm guard? I have the same problem with masks. i find that IST or Tusa brand fits just nice. u can try it. should be fitting for u.My gf scare cold so thinking to get her wetsuit instead. Btw, I have tried mares, cressi even gull mask, all seems able to stick to my face, only issue is my nose part, which with all the masks, makes me feel that I got short nose... Is it norm? Heard that if get a better fit for the nose part thn will be easier to do equalize... what's master here advice ya? hehehe, buying from overseas ya? can share some light? link/site? haha... uhmmm normal dive rental doesnt include dive comp? Dive comp rental is RM50 a day if not mistaken at most dc. Overseas a.. scuba express or scuba online if not mistaken. there is a german site but i cant remember the name.

QUOTE(kimseng @ Jul 23 2013, 11:54 AM) just a word of caution guys. For the purchasing thing.. you can always go to a local dive shop and try on the items and dun buy it if it is not to the pricing you would want to buy it. than go online and buy the exact sizing and model that you saw.like all items purchased online, it is your responsibility to make sure that the items are warranted in your country of residence. that 10% savings that you enjoy upon purchase may be reversed to even more in the event you have to send it back to the country of purchase. I know for a fact that many local distributors will not honour the warranty for equipment purchased online. Also, scuba equipment is very personal in nature, it would be good to try them first before purchasing. Finally, humans are a land species and we do not belong underwater. We are merely visitors using technology to extend our visiting time. Do not be complacent and remember your training, the difference can mean in life or death..... Dive safe everyone. True you need to check the warranty of the item and it is a risk you would have to take. But.. IMO, if the item spoils that easily and requires a major warranty, there is no point using the item anymore. As you said, its a life or death thing. In the end, no matter where you are buying equipment/items at, its always important to do proper reading and research first. This is a basic rule for everything in daily life. |

QUOTE(DrBarbarian @ Jul 23 2013, 04:02 PM) I dun mean this forum.... I meant long time ago when scuba community is small and everybody are very friendly towards each other.... now I notice lodsa back-stabbings and rumors everywhere.... instructor/dm/dive centers bad mouth each other.... sad.... Everyone hostile cos business getting competitive ma.. all cannot keep up with times and market.. so they cucuk cucuk lor..plus now its easy to get items overseas and so on for cheaper price in malaysia so DC/DM/Inst will spread rumors and say all kind of things to make sure the market stays with them. But in the end all comes with pros and cons la.. but Malaysia dive community very cut throat 1 la.. |

QUOTE(Erictdl @ Jul 23 2013, 04:32 PM) Anybody interested to go Coral Redang for Project aware, you may PM me your email address. I'll fwd you the detail. Date is on 19-22 Sep, its a nice hotel. Actually hor.. I also dun understand about these project aware.. if a place really want to promote awareness and help the environment why are they still charging such a price for people to go and work and pick up rubbish while they get sponsorship and so on from certain company.Its like using people's kindness for a profit. I mean its ok to charge but at least give 50% discount or something la. |
