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.
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.  rclxms.gif

Evan... i kiasu i want to go deeper can or not? deeper can reach sophie rickmers wreck, OW cannot reach there... cry.gif cry.gif

I just go and have a look,excited about diving and started to plan what to buy next ad.

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... whistling.gif

if you need to ask about any equipment or prices you can just ask here... be a smart consumer tongue.gif

A bit weird that you only heard of rainbow runners. IMO, people go there mainly for the underwater camera accessories.

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! smile.gif
*
let me make that list... brows.gif

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..

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..
*
your diver friend? hmm, like this as a discover scuba diver means i can only gear up and breathe on the boat? cry.gif cry.gif

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've seen very experienced OWD which is a better diver than some AOW.

i had seen OW diver with 1000+ dives

I do not recommend that...

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')  rclxub.gif
*
some people that i know rushing for certification because they want to "show off" to their OW friend... shakehead.gif

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jul 30 2013, 11:52 AM)
Very true.
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".  shakehead.gif
*
is that the DM who use rental equipment from the DC including mask???

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.
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. brows.gif

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.
*
so long for what? "Dive within your limit"

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? hmm.gif

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.

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).

mrs thinks the same too? drool.gif drool.gif

deep, wreck, night ... OW can do le ... depends on the DM, we were @ tioman and 1st place we went was Renggis for DM to test power, seeing everyone is good enough we went deep the next dive ...

it's all about discipline ... you behave, follow instructions and you will be good, you don't all hell will break loose ... tapi cakap betul hor deep dive and drift dive memang sedap smile.gif

bukan BKT ah ? brows.gif as long your instructor/DM trust your skill, then they can bring you deeper... deep dive me roike... whistling.gif whistling.gif

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 RGBM

QUOTE(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?

How many dives have you logged?

swimming pool dive included ah? whistling.gif

Hey

I've got a Adidas Shorty Wet Suit by Stella McCartney.  Size 32 though, will look awesome and different. smile.gif

RRP is RM1090; willing to let go for half the prize; someone bought too small for me; and don't want it to go to waste.  It's a bright color too, sth you don't find in normal dive shops.

PM if interested, I'll show pic!

why not you show pic we see if we are interested? brows.gif some people here collect stuff...
