Well, my sister was an avid diver for maybe almost 20 years edi now. I love the sea, sun, sand, did DSD twice, once in Redang, once in Tioman. Took up diving after that and it has been about 7 years since then.

What about yours?

for me, its a requirement for my study course.
been 6 years but i must say, im not even an advance yet...
shame on me

too bz with life and work, only managed like 1 dive trip at most a year since 3 years ago.
love the sea and marine life. that is my passion ^^ maybe i should quit what im doing now and stay on an island

Mine was..
Many years back, I was on a snorkeling stay on board trip at Great Barrier Reef, reading a book on sharks.
That this Japanese on board volunteer saw, and she showed me video footage of her dives with sharks (and others).. (spectacular)
For a long time the idea of scuba diving subsided deep within my memory..

Fast forward, a friend suddenly asked, and the footage sorta came to me and I said yes.
Haha.
and for the love of turtles and sharks (not as their meal or vice versa).

What course is that? Interesting.

just a normal marine biology course. nothing much.
i just love marine animal so, kinda like scuba is something that i did not plan at first
glad i did it ^^

And wow, 20 years and 7 years is a very long time..

thanks!
just making sure since I noticed other sport equipment need to be declared for check in

Awesome!! doing the thing you love and discover new love from it.

Side track a lil (hope it's ok), do you by any means know of any marine animal appreciation group of some sort in Malaysia? (can continue this in PM)

I started diving coz I noticed china gals diving in bikinis..... slurp....

dun go for the resort with chalets on the hill.... it's on the right side if you are facing the island.....

have fun in perhentian guys

Hi Guys, I done the discovery diving course previously and now im thinking of doing the open water (basic) course and eventually go for the open water (advanced) course. Earlier I saw on a website that in sipadan there is option to do a combo course for both open water (basic) + (advanced) for RM1500 in Sipadan. Thing is I would really prefer to do it somewhere in semenanjung due to the time constraint. Anyone knows any good deals for combo courses or even the individual basic and advanced open water course in semenanjung? Somewhere in Langkawi, tioman or perhentian perhaps? Please Pm me your recommendations. Thanks

yep. i went for the left one. nice lady chit chatting n her cookings were awesome

hope she is still there

thanks

btw, there are a lot of marine animal appreciation or conservation organizations in malaysia affiliated with wwf malaysia.
u can browse at their website tho mainly turtle is their main concern as of now.

Hello~ I'm planning to dive near Pangkor some time in June. Any tips?

hi guys, just got back from tenggol last week. the visibility is awesome!

LOL,
Are you for real ??

So, this is to impress them or so you could join them?


Previously i did check out some.. but some events require quite some fees to participate..(hmm..)
I guess it's time for more homework.
Thanks.

Perhentian weather is awesome!
