Gostan gostan... teeee teeee teeeee

Hahaha. Sometimes got obstacle in front, on top and below all blocking your way. No choice but to gostan. Hahaha.

Obstacle = divers

Wear fins on the hand.

Can can. I play with you during shore dive.

Most either cross their arms or holding pointer poking everything they come across.

Yup it will disturb the marine life. But many people still do it.

Pointer got quite some usage. Sometimes current strong, you can poke it into the sand or rocks to keep you in place.
Then you can also use it as a tank banger to get attention. It's long and can use to remove certain things if needed, without using your bare fingers.

Can use to fight with each other and poke your buddy if he doesn't want to layan you.

Later the coral got one hole then you know...

There's no rule about that. Just make sure you won't get slap when you get out of the water.

Ehhh, triggerfish attack that time you guys shouldn't be swimming up.

My backside very friendly wan. Won't slap people.

Hellooo. You're the other friend of numbers right?

Who here has used full face mask before?

Yea, you have to bring your license card whenever you go diving. Or at least keep a photocopy of it if the DC needs to see it. Most DC won't really check but some can be quite strict.

Why no temporary card? Lost it or expired?
If your PADI instructor didn't give one to you, then that's really weird. How long has it been since you completed your course?

Perhentian got many dive centers. Are you planning to stay in Besar or kecil?
Some of the popular ones are Quiver and Universal.

Again, why no temp card? Your instructor should have given you a temp card that can last 3 months if not mistaken.

Anyways, still quite early, usually takes longer to arrive. I finish a course on 9th July this year, received email from padi on 8th August and have yet to receive my card. PADI has already recorded my certification into their database though.

No la. DSD only.

Kecil or Besar depends on where you prefer. Dive sites depend on the dive center and time of dive.

Perhentian is a nice place for divers. Maybe you can get your AOW together with some of the members here. On and off can see members looking for others to take AOW together.

Awesome! Who have you decided to go with?

Can listen to music while diving.

I would say go for a few dive trips first, get some experience then get your AOW. It also depends on how fast one adapts to diving. Some are fast learners while some quite slow. Like some after OW course then the buoyancy quite good already, whereas some after few trips still up down up down buoyancy.

Deep doesn't always mean better also. There are many things in shallow water too.

AOW is just like an add on to your OW course. You learn more stuff and how to be more aware of the underwater surroundings.

There was quite some discussion on this topic in the previous thread. Around end July like that. Maybe you can refer back to V2 and read some of the others comments.

Generally, if you feel comfortable with it, then go ahead. Also if you think you will continue to dive, then by all means, go get it. I know many who take OW then after that no interest to dive already.
