review n picture pls...

Pls share some photo or video..hihi

I feel that tec diving confers risks that may not be acceptable to many. Consents are easily taken, but whether or not they truly understand what they're gonna go through remains doubtful. Recreational diving is generally safe as there is acceptably adequate evidence from previous accumulated data which makes the dangers more predictable. To be more specific, it is up to the 20-22m mark only. In other words, diving safely up to those depths will almost guarantee no harm, but past those depths, no matter how safely you dive, with all the safety stops and added conservatisms, the risks are still assumed to be higher.
Scuba diving is still relatively 'uncharted territory'. There is insufficient evidence on many aspects of diving; for example the long term effects of diving on the body, thresholds of diving limits between people, the whole decompression theory itself etc.
Unfortunately, the algorithms that define dive planners and comps are still 'models'. Bounce diving causes unacceptable DCS risks, yet it is allowed by some dive comps.

With all that being said, aren't we all risk takers in the first place the moment we decided to dive?

Went to dive concepts (owned by french guy)
Day trip from seminyak, they picked me from hotel and send back each way 3 hrs! total cost is 1.2 mil rupiah
It's best stay in tulamben area cause I went Bali with non divers
Dived at drop off, coral garden and liberty
Obvious liberty is best.
Now is good weather to visit Bali with cool winter breeze from australia
Sorry not much pic as using iPhone 4 + casing

Is it safe to dive at 20-22m mark? Recreational diving has caused deaths every year too. For me it is all about calculated risks and training. I think that certain technical diving is quite mature but for me I am too lazy to do the training and calculations. Did I mention the price tag?

no no... you know me lah... I where got interested in extended dive wan... only reason I do deco dives is when I go really deep or wreck dives... happened a few times unplanned deco without stage tank..... so it would be good to do tec40 to know more about deco just in case.....

Cool bro..total how many dives u did at there? And total cash burn for diving how much bro..

GOING IN NOVEMBER WITH munkeyflo !!! SO EXCITED!!!

How many days to Bali! We need a countdown timer for that.

Any photos?

u gt some points there ...

Diving is all about adventure and adventure comes with risks. And diver are trained to understand and cope with the risk when they taking up open water courses.

One should have a valid reason to go Tec. (eg. wreck, cave) If it's just for the purpose of going deeper, IMHO it's just not worth the risk and wallet. Moreover, you will need to have a group of divers you frequent with who are willing to go the distance. It's somewhat a lonely road as you progress further up the qualification chart. Being here in Malaysia does not help with the situation either. Gears are more expensive, hard to come by and good Tec instructors are scarce.

Is there any Tec diver in this forum? Do u guys have any info on any Tec community that is based here in Malaysia?

nope, lazy to use electronic device while i was there

What is the most common regs that you guys use? I did some research on the internet and found that mk25/s600 is quite hot. Anyone uses A700? is it worth the upgrade from S600?

Thanks.

Looks/Quality wise.. A700 wins..but in terms of performance.. i don't think can really tell the difference unless see results from lab test.
