anyone here bring their own bcd everytime go dive?
how about jacket type vs back inflation type BCD?
search on internet many diver prefer back inflation. but i found that this type of bcd will force me face-down.. hard/impossible to stay vertical while floating.. or i just still not used to it?
i bring my bcd everytime i go for diving. I have back inflation and jacket type too... dont think i experience any problem floating on the surface when using back inflation, maybe you are not used to it.

yeah... dun like back inflation..... especially if you are at the surface.....
back inflation good for photography, its just a myth on the surface...

Agree. My buddy for past few days r using back inflation... He s doing good, can stay head up legs down. He uses that for past 5 years thou.

for back inflation, if you dont fully inflate then you can stay head up and legs down

i asked abt the bcd because i plan to buy 1.. hard to find bcd for my size at dive center.. too small.. hehee..
nevermind la.. saving until mide and got time to do more research..

btw, i wonder how small size you are...

even i also manage to get a wetsuit & BCD that fit me well. Don't think you will be smaller size than me..

I am signing off from Perhentian Kecil today and back to the hectic real life.
6D5N at Sharila Resort Coral Bay. Wanted to stay at dorm but was full thus opted for the budget room, RM50/day with AC, wall fan and attached bath. 2 single beds which r abit soft to my liking, a table, no door cabinet and 2 mirrors. Cold shower and water pressure s weak during usual shower time. AC s damn cold... Anyhow, RM50 is a valuable price.
Life for the first few days were funny, diving, restaurant, beach... basically everywhere were mostly mat salleh hahahaaa
9 dives over the trip. Temple of Sea (Tokong laut) * 2, Sugar Wreck * 2, T3 * 2, Sea Bell, Sail Rock and Outer Reef.
I dove with Quiver which s just next to Sharila or at the end of the jetty. Wet suits have new and used, most bcd are new Mares, regulators are in good condition. Tanks with clean compressed air that are always filled up to 200-220 bar.
They have 3 boats, the one that I always boarded is equip with 200hp.
Overall, I had a relax diving trip. Slept twice on the beach. Met many new frens at the restaurant or dive centre.
Looking forward to LYT May trip to Perhentian Besar!
i will update my trip with later
