don't be selfish. sharing is caring..

kidding
anyway.. 30% land also can fit 6 billions population, 70% underwater world can fit more ppl.

About 10% divers remain active after 10 years from the day they got their OWD who will dive more than 20 dives a year. This sport has quite high drop out rates.

In order for myself to run out of diving kakis... i need to recruit more.

no need recruit.. Join us~ hahaha

Just arrived home from Tioman. Did 6 dives over 2 days. Did Renggis, Soyak and White Sands on the first day and Golden Reef, Tiger Reef and Labas on the 2nd day. Viz was 15m throughout! Awesome altho it rained on the first day. We did 2 dives in the morning and ascended in rain on the 2nd dive. Did the house reef white sands also ascended in rain. Nothing special but there were a lot of fishes. One of my best trips to Tioman to date.

when you going to introduce your girl friends? sharing is caring...

i think when 70% people live on underwater, the 30% is for tank and compressor...

not everyone like you so hardcore...

mind sharing who you dive with and resort you stayed?

any pictures? sharing is caring

Dove with Diver's Cove in Paya. Was staying at Tioman Paya Resort. Unfortunately, something bad happened when we were at Tioman Paya Resort. Its highly not recommended that you stay there. On Day 2 of our stay, after the dives, it was raining heavily. So we hiked back up to the resort to grab some chow. Not great food also, but for convenience sake we decided to eat there.

The rain and wind was like crazy. So we went to the resort cafe and sat down on a table that has already been setup with plates and bowls and what not. The other tables was wet. A lady waitress came over and told us off rudely that the table was reserved for dinner. (At that time it was 12pm in the afternoon) One of my buddy then tried to reason with her, saying that the other tables were wet and the wind was blowing still at that time. He insisted that we use that table. Again she rudely refused. It then translated into us sitting on a wet table with my buddy complaining to us in mandarin. The usual, wtfs why like that bla bla bla service bad bla bla bla.

Fast forward to the last night we were there. After hanging at the dive center we decided to grab a few drinks on the beach. A group of local boys came. Hooliganing around us, as usual we though they were drunk. Then they started to threaten and verbally abuse us for being kurang ajar, bla bla bla. And the best part is 2 of them are the resort staff. I would assume that they were drunk. We didnt even know whats up with them until they mentioned that we were "rude" to one of their sisters in the resort. Keep threatening to whack us up and rape the girls in my group. Saying that the ladies wear sexy la. They geram la. That time we were not even pissed just found it funny that a bunch of scrawny kids were screaming profanities and threats at a bunch of body builders and MMA fellas. After they got bored with screaming and us not responding to them, they left us alone with threats of "kasi pecah muka lu bila lu balik hotel"

In the end nothing bad happened. But still a crappy overall experience. Gonna call up the local KL resort office to lodge a complaint. And just as nice, one of our buddies in the group is a lawyer, so he's planning to send in a legal letter just for the lulz. Lets see what happens and i'll update here.

One of my friends rented an underwater camera. But the photos turned out quite crappy. Will post some of it soon.

luckily nothing happen to your group...
boycott Paya resort

Hi, just discovered this thread. Been diving for about a year, so far about 20+ dives.

Only dove in Malaysia once so far (Perhentian) as I work overseas, so majority of my dives around Indonesia.

I'm not in KL that often but hopefully can get a chance to know some people from here and eventually dive together. If anyone ever comes to Indo for diving, feel free to contact me.

Cheers all..

This is what will happen if alcohol is cheaper than mineral water... but thanks for sharing it out, so we will try not to go there. Want to join us for a drink or trip next time? please PM me if you want to join our fb group. it is open for all members here.

Yes thats me

For short weekend dives, I usually go with a group to Pulau Seribu (1 1/2 hrs by speedboat from Jkt marina) or Pulau Sanghyang 2 hr drive + 45 mins speedboat ride. Both are easy day trips, and every weekend there would be a group who goes.

For longer dives, been to Bali several times, Gili Islands, hope to do Bunaken, Weh this year, and Raja Ampat next.

Just a very simple report

Pulau Seribu and Sanghyang- easy access from Jakarta. Marine life so-so, occassional turtle, but nothing spectacular. Very crowded though due to being close enough for daytrip. Sometimes, any diving is better than none no matter how 'average'

Bali -Awesome place, always have fun there. Tulamben always good (and crowded) Nusa Penida is awesome for Mola2 season but extremely strong currents in certain places.

Any specific place u want more details or u want some contact info especially for Bali feel free to PM.

Cheers
