Guys, when booking with Air Asia, is there a difference whether you book "sports equipment" or "checked baggage"?

QUOTE(michellesiao @ Jul 26 2013, 04:49 PM) looking for Padi license in good deal.. we are from local uni.. and around 30 of us..any idea how to get low price for the license? For a group that size, it's important that you find out how they plan to accommodate all of you.Don't let price get in the way of receiving good instruction. Scuba diving has its risks, and the better trained you are in theory, skills, and wisdom... the better prepared you are for those risks. |

QUOTE(BroJason @ Jul 30 2013, 11:47 AM) I do not recommend that... 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.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') 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. That's commendable... but right how do you maintain awareness of your depth and bottom time? |

QUOTE(demetrius @ Jul 30 2013, 07:45 PM) well i guess its your leap of faith then. i'd rather know if my car runs on diesel or petrol to know its mileage and potential maintenance cost etc.,catch my drift? A lot of what we do in daily life is based on leap on faith algorithms are based on attempts to plot a graph based on the tens of thousands of dives made,using a conceptual basis. they all will try to conform to the data, but questions that come to mind would be, is the concept comparable to a real situation?and can the graph accurately predict dives not done before? i mean, 50+50 and 60+40 will get u a 100, but so does 200-100 and a 10x10. we've come a long way since the Haldanean concept..but its still a relatively new area.so i'm not gonna blindly follow that deco profile until i know whats actually going on. and of course,these things should be done out of the water.when in water,stick to the planned time and depth limits. just my opinion..this is what an obsessed diver does when he can't dive.lol There are still many unknowns in hyperbaric physiology and deco theory so if you have passion in studying them, by all means go for it. Just be mindful of the bigger picture surrounding dive safety: http://www.alertdiver.com/Bubbles |

Just tried the Atomic split fins in the pool.
They are very nice for doing a scissors kick with fast but small strokes. It feels as if the fins aren't there. The Hollis F2 definitely feels stiffer for this kick. But my feet became sore really quickly. I think it's because the foot pocket is too tight. |

Viz in Miri is extremely bad today.. I think about 2 meters (couldn't see past the head of the diver in front of me). We called off the second dive because there wasn't any point continuing. It's a shame though, there seemed to be a lot of marine life there, just that it isn't a good day
On the bright side, the clouds are parting now and weather looks like it will be nice for the beach Thanks juniorkirk for the torch... it helped a lot! I will definitely consider getting one for my next round of gear purchase... |
