Suggestions for info on first page

Equipment purchasing. where to buy and price ranges.
Diving season for location including whats the best time to dive and estimated price range/dive
Medications for diving & safety reminders.

I am too new to know all this but would seems good info to have from time to time. i can help ask about the medication things since the matron at my hospital was a diver and there is also a doctor here who is an active diver.

know which doctor can give his signature on being fit to dive around KL/Melaka?

some ppl have some sort of asthma history like me sad.gif,  and to complete any PADI course they're required to go through a test/signed off by a doc so that he can continue with the next certification..

last time i went to Sime Darby Medical Centre, doc charged me like RM250+++, to go thru a few test, and also his signature.. damn.. so pricey..

That price seems ok to me. i did a medical check up at UM specialist centre and they charged me about 400. But that not for diving. that for scholarship..

Some wetsuits has the zip but some does not. And even got also quite hard for me to go in. I'll take at least 30 min to get my legs into my wetsuit properly.

never wear a wet suit before but how do u use a plastic bag to put ur leg in?

Scubatex items seems really cheap.. can consider buying a wet suit there and a mask for beginners..

Hi all, munkeyflo is on vacation, I will be taking over her place temporarily for this perhentian trip, I have been told that we need to confirm ASAP because May is peak season and most of the resort have limited rooms available. It is better if we could discuss it asap. Any question regarding this trip can let me know.  biggrin.gif

We can discuss it over a teh tarik over this weekend, when munkeyflo is back i will bring her out again to discuss about further details.

Thanks and hope we could make it this weekend.
