we're reminded that diving is an extreme sport, and not just a hobby. be safe, dont take anything for granted, remember the training, check kit properly, practice the buddy system.

QUOTE(penembak88 @ May 22 2013, 11:30 PM) Dear divers, only 4 days ahhh. time will fly very fast and u wont get enough of diving Weh!Need ur help here.. i'll plan to go for scuba at pulau weh from 30 aug - 2sep 2013 together with my friends. But i dont have any contact for ground arrangement i.e transportation, accomodation and diving.. any suggestion? went with Steffen in Feb - all taken care of, from airport to resort. dives, 3 a day, just about right. food - this is the tricky part. there's a kitchen for us to use. next door is a simple restaurant. further down the beach is an Italian restaurant (!) - nice. and next to that is another resort which might have a restaurant. recommended if u dont wanna worry abt the logistics. |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jun 10 2013, 02:00 PM) Ehhh, can see all those just by walking along the shore? Sounds awesome! EVERYTHING CLOSES on friday til 2pm - so you have to prepare the food. So, just sit around, or walk about la. Very relaxing.Yup, I heard about their non-operating times on Friday until afternoon. We will be spending a Friday there as well so most likely just chill on the beach. Any recommendations of activities to do on Friday morning? I assume everything else also not in operation so no point hiringeone to go to town jalan jalan? Weh makes for some superb diving. Didnt face any major currents when i was there in Feb. Maybe depends on dive-site and season. Fantastic. Was at Steffen Seasport Centre |

QUOTE(ichigosan @ Jun 12 2013, 08:09 AM) I am wearing glasses, erm...do i need to buy a prescription mask or can i just wear a contact lens inside? i dont like contacts so first thing i bought was a prescription mask. very happy. there are pros and cons so check them out first. One of the cons is that the range of masks is limited for prescription lenses. |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jun 12 2013, 09:03 AM) Well, how much air you use depends on a lot of various factors. Most of us will be left with 80 bar or so after one dive, I'm usually left with around 110 bar after each dive. wow i sometimes left with 10 or 20 only 200 bar is usually just nice or more than enough for most of us for one dive. so if we dive together i will look for you and share, okay. thanks in advance! |

i wont call it hardcore. more like Super-Stupid.
didnt feel like low-air situation so perhaps the gauge was not so accurate. |

i'd think its good investment to buy the fins and booties. i got blisters and i immediately bought those. price - if u looking for brand, then of course higher budget. i got my IST stuff, cheap and good, works well, wont leave home without it!

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jul 30 2013, 06:52 PM) Using a watch and depth gauge I guess. But it'll get quite troublesome as there is so many things to take note of underwater. what time is this on sunday?4th August. My bad. Changed to Sunday cause more people can make it on Sunday. Can you join? Let me know so we know roughly how many pax when we get a table. |
