There was one on sale at the pet shop in Ikano. When you put your finger near it, it will rotate.. rotate.. rotate... and suddenly ram the glass. Damn ganas!

QUOTE(EvanSoon @ Jul 29 2013, 09:36 AM) Nah, u don't need a group to do aow. U can do it alone too but living might be more expensive with places charging surcharges. Evan... i kiasu i want to go deeper can or not? deeper can reach sophie rickmers wreck, OW cannot reach there... In AOW, there is a few questions like "why do you want to go deeper?" And "what is your purpose?" I am not judging and putting you down but just hope it is the correct reason for your safety. If you think it is your reasons are correct than I would say go do it. There r cheap dorms in perhentian so u could do it there if u r worried of accomodation. |

QUOTE(Darkcursed @ Jul 29 2013, 09:42 AM) first first, get your own mask, snorkel and fin. then wetsuit and booties on the way. then next is dive comp, after dive comp is bcd, after bcd is regulator, after regulator is all your accessories. last is the u/w camera... if you need to ask about any equipment or prices you can just ask here... be a smart consumer |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jul 29 2013, 03:24 PM) A bit weird that you only heard of rainbow runners. IMO, people go there mainly for the underwater camera accessories. let me make that list... Check the first page 2nd post for a not-so-complete list of dive shops, rough location and what they usually carry. Most people will start with scubatex. Fins, mask, booties. Good to get your own set. Happy shopping! QUOTE(demetrius @ Jul 29 2013, 04:50 PM) ok i will..my schedule's always last minute and really tight at the moment,very hard to find replacements for my shift...so on 2nd thought,maybe its a bit hard for me to join u guys.. your diver friend? hmm, like this as a discover scuba diver means i can only gear up and breathe on the boat? i just found out about MIDE on its last day, and i was working that day.dammit man.never knew they had an expo for diving. and my diver friend once told me,OW divers are like snorkelers with air tanks.lol hahaha go deep to get high.i wonder if anyone tried narcing themselves in a chamber just for the heck of it.. btw it's dangerous to get narcosis. not fun. i don't recommend diver to try it. QUOTE(chastise @ Jul 29 2013, 08:47 PM) i had seen OW diver with 1000+ divesQUOTE(EvanSoon @ Jul 30 2013, 10:24 AM) cannot compare a diver with a sotong |

QUOTE(BroJason @ Jul 30 2013, 11:47 AM) I do not recommend that... some people that i know rushing for certification because they want to "show off" to their OW friend... even if you are good or so-called born to be diver, it makes senses to have more dive experience before moving up the ladder... just my 2 cents. no point rushing through the certifications... find this rather dangerous in most cases when the diver is not well-prepared and certified (depending on who the dive instructor is teaching you and his level of 'leniency') QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jul 30 2013, 11:52 AM) Very true. is that the DM who use rental equipment from the DC including mask??? I know of a friend who did OW straight to DM. One day we were casually talking about dive equipments and he told me "dive comp not important wan la, so expensive no need to buy". QUOTE(EvanSoon @ Jul 30 2013, 11:55 AM) There are plenty who do that. For me i think if your comfortable with your open water and want to move on to advance than might as well go ahead as for me advance is just a "term" and does not mean anything. so long for what? "Dive within your limit"I mean if your an OW only you could dive to 25m too and do those things you do during AOW, with enough dive your buoyancy would be better, anyone could dive around a sunk ship/boat, and compass is the same as on land. Important is the mindset to dive safe and within limits. p/s: no1 wants people to go get their license and stop diving after that. Thats y i always suggest DSD first to know if you really like it and would want to continue with it. QUOTE(EvanSoon @ Jul 30 2013, 12:04 PM) not legally, i mean do-able. its not that difficult right? just descend deeper a little following your DM/instructor. who's your instructor ah? |

QUOTE(wKkaY @ Jul 30 2013, 03:07 PM) I did my AOW right after OW. My primary reason was economical: many dives incurred an "adventure dive" fee, so I might as well top up and a bit more for the certification. mrs thinks the same too? Reflecting back, I think it's a good decision. I was comfortable in similar waters, keen to learn, and my dives were closely supervised by an instructor in a small group of 2 (instead of joining the bigger groups). |

QUOTE(demetrius @ Jul 30 2013, 05:13 PM) haha i think at OW's allowable depth dive tables are sufficient la... and also i'd like to put myself in relative deficiency to keep myself on my toes..need to 'feel' the tables, if you know what i mean. that way i can appreciate a dive comp when i get one. not to mention i haven't fully understood the concept of the RGBM. seriously after x amounts of dive i still don't know shyt about RGBMQUOTE(chastise @ Jul 30 2013, 05:18 PM) there's RGBM, DSAT, Bulhmann, VPM. Don't tell me you wanna master all then only get a dive comp? swimming pool dive included ah? How many dives have you logged?
