There's no otai otai or sifu sifu here... only divers anyway welcome to u/w world.

I personally love diving in lang tengah. Super relax + peaceful... there are only a few resort in the island, which are really quite far away from each other... Marine life in lang tengah is  , leopard shark are often spotted there... what else would you like to know? 

Sorry, I have no answer for ur mouth piece Q, wait for the others...

Perhaps u can also share us your experience at Turtle Bay Divers....

Welcome to the UW world!

What do you mean dive operator ada banyak equipment? Most of the dive center equipment for rental only. and most of their equipment are those super basic type. If you would like better reg/bcd you have to buy your own. But don't spend your money investing in equipment you are unsure about. gain experiences thru more dive first. If you would like to buy the mouth piece, let me just tell you where to get and how much it cost and how to pasang. some mouthpiece will cost you RM 5-100. Depending on how comfortable you want it to be 


Don't worry. We have experienced this as well, Next time try to calm down and take a second of your time to think/recall what have you been taught. But for student i do not encourage them to surface. Try to solve any/all the problem underwater. I'm not trying to scare you, it is very dangerous for you to swim up like that... it might caused lung expansion, or when you ascent on the surface, you might hit the boat 

From this, i can assume that you took your open water course in island within 3-4 days? Just an advise for you, don't stop practicing your mask recovery/reg recovery and 20+ skills you learnt after you got your open water certification. Master all the skills and get familiarize with the equipment you use.

Equipment are important too, there are different kind of mask out there for different type of faces. if you are getting your own mask, maybe you can read on the first page. how to get your own mask. If you are renting your own equipment, don't have this thinking in your mind you will be getting the same type/brand of equipment every time you dive.

Well, Welcome to the diving world. If you need more information about diving, feel free to post here anytime.

D coconut dive center are small and very personalized. They have not more than 10 set of equipment if I calculate it right. Not a good brand though and some of the equipment are mixed brand. They are using cap ayam brand fin which colored something green and orange fluorescent. My experience is waaay back in 2011. Boat have no bumbung and back roll entry. You have to climb the boat, given that there is no ladder

My rating : 5/10

wow... luckily you din blow your lungs out.... never force yourself to dive if you feel uncomfortable.... I always skip dives on the first day if I drove overnite.....

yeah, thank god that you are safe... just remember what have you learnt and try to solve everything uw.

Yahh... i was tense especially when instructor always scold me not to do that, not to do this.
can't blamed him, coz it's all about safety. i understand that
almost drowned during mask take off clearing skill test.

Got a few brands in the market. Saw quite a number of dive center carrying Mares Jax moldable mouthpiece. Comes in many many colors and if not mistaken cost around RM100 like that.
Me and juniorkirk using it. But our mouth is normal size la, I don't know whether wide enough for yours or not. Can go shop to look see look see.

Dear all....by reading some of the comments on buying equipments for new divers.

I would strongly recommend and highlight to all fresh or experience divers to buy a good and not too small "sausage", learn how to use it as it will be your life saving equipments and it doesn't cost you a lot.  a decent one will cost about 100 -200. remember Perhentian incident lately it can be avoided if a sausage is deploy.

you may consider to accessorize yourself up with dive com and others fancy stuff when you move towards advance level or consider diving as your frequent hobby.

Yea that's true. We did that. Haha. No one pulled your leg la.
Some can mould it more than once. Say you mould edi no ngam then you dunno after when you can soak it in hot water and mould it again.

It really molds to our teeth. Like I can't use juniorkirk's mouthpiece cause the shape completely different.

wow.. KSL got dive shop? Saturday if I go down must go see see.. LOL..
I think there is a few in JB but very well hidden..

Once you have gotten your OWD, you will have the urge to buy equipment. At least get personal stuffs like mask and snorkel. Other things, slowly lah.
