With operator error, anything safe can be dangerous. That's why the most common cause of DCI is still diver error. But despite eliminating that, the risk is not equivalent to rec depths less than 20m. And yes, there are probably thousands of tec divers worldwide and tens of thousands of tec dives done without damage. All thanks to the recognition of the risks and the subsequent stringent requirements to dive tec. But it is known that tec diving accidents are generally more severe and fatal if it happens. I can't help but wonder if those similar stringent requirements were adopted for basic rec diving, would there be nil diving fatalities?

But that is also why my philosophy is to train like i'm going for tec, but never expect to attempt it.

And besides, there's so much water in the world..it doesn't always have to be the deeper end of the sea. There are lakes, diving under icebergs or just plain rebreather diving. Big changes in environment, equipment and comfort level.

3 dives at 1.2 mil rupiah about rm350

Don't forget go lepak at potato head club, seminyak for sunset

My bad, 8 dives over 3 days...

Earlier was thinking... With the min 18hrs no fly.. Swimming back from Bali to klang?? LOL

Myr n USd ... U can affort wan, money can always earned again

Doubt so for nil... We r human, mistake, careless... Example, better road, car and maybe improving driving lesson, road accidents happen every hour..

Planning to kill a day land base trip and go Gili T for another dive... one shot tapao ... coz not really into temples visitation ler...

Shud hav extend longer and go for Komodo and do LOB...

Tec courses in general does not include rental of gear to divers. It's encouraged that Tec Diver should have their own gear for safety purposes. At minimum, their own bcd and 2 main regulators which they are familiar with and been using for sometime with adequate muscle memories.

That being said, an avid and frequent Rec diver should have their own regularly serviced personal gear in order to minimize the risk of diving. Dive centres usually blame human error as the cause, but often times it's due to the lack of familiarization or malfunction of gear which escalate to an incident. No matter how experienced you are as a diver, when the regulator fails to function, you are at the mercy of your buddy and the element.

A cave instructor once told me, cave diving is the most dangerous form of diving and also the safest way to dive. This is due to the redundancies that are in place and the training to make use of such redundancies. Training is of course important, but it will requires the right amount of proper dive gear to execute what is learned.

I think someone was right, your real job is diving!

Like that I need to be more hardworking at work

When's your next trip?

Guys, I am a new diver, where is the place to go to seek for new regulators and dive accessories?

Can a new diver like me use MK25/A700? Will that be too overkilled?

Check the first page for a list of dive shops in klang valley. Drop by any and have a chat with their staffs.

Mk25/a700 is good. If budget is not a constrain, go for it.

Extend n komodo lah... Gili s nothing compares to komodo


Don't worry, seen students with full set of new gears while doing ow course hehhee

Anyhow if u think that is the right gear n within ur budget... Go ahead.

Welcome to the uw colorful world

hahaha... will see how it goes la...

Ringgit falling like waterfall... sigh...

Already trying to dive more and get more discount d ...

Anyone interested 14-16 aug kaleebso lob at tioman can pm me, promoting for friend.

Haha why I got the impression that you are like diving every month?

Sad to say, my next dive trip is still the 3/9 Sipadan, didn't manage to squeeze out any weekend and go perhentian as planned. Is the oct one opening for new member to join?

Btw, mind to share which dc are you using for the Brunei trip? Thx

Reporting in. Hope to join you guys in next trip.
I am from Kota Kinabalu anyway

You haven't met ukiya yet. He travels like everyday lol.

Yup. You can still join us for the October perhentian one. But note that accommodation is on your own, or either at Bakawan divers' dorm which is very basic ya. Just let me know if you can make it cause I'm collecting a deposit to secure the dive rates.

Hello. Welcome
Where else other than Sabah have you dived before?

wKkaY

I am about to get my gopro, just starting simple with Backscatter FLIP 3.1 Side Flip with Dive Filter and a monopod.
Any advice on how to take care of the GoPro on diving? Any tips as well?
Also, do I need to get those silica gels/pads that they sell exclusively for GoPro?
How can I avoid fogging completely?

Thanks in advance first!

hi guys, would like some feedback on this.
I'm travelling to Bali on Nov 25. Will be staying in Ubud. Tour guide will bring my in laws to go jalan jalan, so we have 1 day to chill. Tot of going diving at the famous USS Liberty wreck in Tulamben. My driver says its about 2 1/2 hours drive away. Possible to do 2 dives in a day assuming that we depart from Ubud early morning?

Any dive center with DM that can recommend? Both me and my wife just got our Open water not long ago. I understand that it's a shore drive to the wreck.
