then evansoon needs to go Redang again to pick it up?

nah.. they send the thing to Diver's den and I just need to go there to pick it up.. haha..

some still very old skool... don't online mahh...

evansoon took his course in Diver Den PJ, so he can collect it there...

btw can't they send it for you, but put the reply address to your address?? It's just a matter of writing the address right? it doesn't matter where you send it from.

quite weird.. are they lazy or want to economize the posting cost??

I will be going to perhentian or redang from 12/05 - 17/05
how much do i willing to pay, thats what i am trying to find out here, i dont know the rate for the license, but i am willing to pay around RM 700 to RM 1.3K
But it would be better if I could join a team instructed by anyone you guys might knew. So that I can use the money for other purpose.

The price would be about 1300.. and the accommodation might not be so good.

If you do it in perhentian and stay at a dorm it would reduce the accommodation fees to RM50 per night.

sometimes dive center will only send in bulk, so you will need to wait a while till you get the card...

So you going to island for diving trip or holiday? we have included the price range for Open Water License in the first page, if you go thru i think you will get most of the answer to your question there... btw, course itself will cost you around 700, your budget is with trip or without trip?

the main reason I go to the island is for the license. The budget I gave just now is solely for the license. But of course if I could cost down, it would be great.
I went through the 1st page, but couldnt see any interesting offers.

If you can wait till Malaysia Internation Dive Expo (MIDE) on 5-7 July 2013, I'm sure you can get many interesting offers than what we or others can offer now. We don't see any dive center having any promotions now. We will update information if we can find any. In MIDE, you can get all inclusive Open Water package for as low as RM 900. so stay tune

plan to have another dive trip between June or July. If got good deal in MIDE, i don mind go dive trip on July. but worry about the fight ticket(whether airasia got promotion or not).

We might be going to Tioman in June. Can join us.

detail of trip?
date? duration? take flight? most important is cost.

I usually get my stuffs from caveadventurers.com but they only ship free above $699. Sometimes I just join orders with a few divers if we can't get. For those who are interested in oxycheq products. Can try them, they give good prices and quite responsive.

Most of the MIDE deals you can book and travel next year, so you have plenty of time to get airasia promotion... but sometimes its better to drive than to fly...

your budget?

Fuiyoh... hardcore diver... we only get our barang from pasar malam...

ooOOooOOoooo.... oxycheq.... slurp......

singaporean love this brand...

Singaporeans bukan suka Halycon.. yg paling expensive.

so you also singaporean?

so book in MIDE then travel next year.
flight consume less time but hassle (check in/out, need to go airport), self drive long distance (talking about min 5-8 hours), very tire. u guys usually drive?

what is the normal budget for 3 days 2 nites diving trip? as my last trip was taking open water course, so don know the budget for only leisure diving.

yeah... no budget need to drive... somemore kiasu can dive more. Otherwise need to wait at least 18 hours before flight... if driving still can dive the morning we check out..
about your budget right, depends on where you want to go and what you want... again depends on your budget... you can choose to stay at 5 star sea view suite accommodation or you can stay at dorm. boat dive is range around 50-120/dive in malaysia... so 3D2N is normally 5 dives, so you can do your calculation right?

So how much you paid for your redang trip? maybe you can tell us where you want to go and we can calculative a cost for you...
