I am thinking of getting it.. but maybe after a few dives.

btw for accesories like Masks, will there be discounts on MIDE (malaysia international dive expo) usually? I'm planning to buy masks, but will wait until MIDE ^^


PS: I have Sony NEX C3 camera, and too bad that it wasn't supported by ikelite or other good casing manufacturer (even if it's supported, its gonna be expensive -.-). But I have found some china casing like ini here:

http://www.amazon.com/Meike-Waterproof-Und...m/dp/B008JRRUMM
http://www.linkdelight.com/PO137-40M-Under...18-to-50mm.html
http://www.lelong.com.my/40m-nex-c3-waterp...2-10-Sale-P.htm

But I read somewhere that it's prone to leak.. what do you guys think about it? anyone have experience with cheap generic casing like this?

In MIDE, some dive shop will offer up to 30% discount for diving equipment including mask.

Housing leak mostly are from the o-ring or buttons. I advise you to bring your housing down the 1st dive without your camera in it. Will write up more information about camera & housing at the first page later.  biggrin.gif  But the housing you showed is not cheap generic, it is OEM quality  biggrin.gif

Ok great, then it's better to buy the mask in MIDE later..

really it's OEM quality? hmm ok I'm gonna try to find the best deal on it. thanks

b5n111, I think zaff1984 doesn't want to go to the diving trip. What he meant was to add his name to the diver's list in the #1 post.

tantalus, pls suggest a place smile.gif

What I know is place in the mall only, TT usually in kopitiam?(never done TT in forum)

If mall, then maybe midvalley? It's nearer to PJ, have KTM access and bus, but maybe it's too crowded? or KLCC? bukit bintang area?

or anybody else suggest a place in PJ? tongue.gif If it's a bit far, its also ok for me, worst case is to take taxi to go there.

So any news bout last fri meeting?
How much depo to put in?
Decided between flora n abdul?
*
for the depo will be informed later, after juniorkirk discussed it with samurai for confirmation.

Basically for the meeting, the date for diving is ok. First we will book the room (soon I guess). And maybe next time we will discuss about transport to go there. and later at perhentian we can discuss about how many dives do we want.

Yes, for DAN, you will need to membership then only you can buy for that insurance.

other insurance such like AXA travel insurance provide coverage to leisure diver. you guys can check it up, most of the travel insurance company can provide scuba diving coverage, but additional cost of course.

i will update about insurance tonight.
