The dive operators will pick you up about 7am. It's a whole day affair. Am sure they can arrange ubud pick up as well

Last round I used dive concepts ( french operator)

checked out their site.. in fact have been looking around several dive center sites.. their dive price seems to fluctuate alot.... what is the average amount per dive including equipment rental there? am planning for 2 dives. already have driver to send us to Tulamben.

I did 3 dives at 1.2 juta inclusive pick up from seminyak

I'm going to Bali on November 25 also.

Liberty wreck is OW friendly. There are day trips to Tulamben.

Guys, what are the recommended attire for someone who wish to take up open water diving course for the first time & where to get those? And what are the exercises needed to accommodate our body for the coldness in the water? I been to the river yesterday and shivering non-stop because the water is very cold.

drink more beer

So that's the reason behind?
I really don't drink at all, not even beer.
If that's the case I will consider pick up drinking.

LOL dont listen to jiemoon he's just trolling you

The dive centre you do your OW with should have wetsuits for you to rent which will help to keep you warm.

If you go to a place like Redang, the water there is 30C, which is the same as a swimming pool in Klang Valley. For other places check the local sea temp chart.

1. The two things i always do. Before i close the case, i make sure the o ring is clean. After the dive, i submerge it in tap water and repeatedly press the buttons to flush out salt.

2. I dont use them and havent had fogging issues in the southeast asian climate. But one thing you should always do is to sweep away bubbles that stick to your case/filter (outside).

Another numbers guy..

A large part of an OW course teaches you protocols and procedures to avoid death

But training and knowledge only gets you so far, you also need experience to make you a wiser confident diver, and discipline to follow your training. Applying more stringent requirements won't change this.

for me..i prevent from get shivering with a hoodie since i dun like wear a wetsuit.. its enough to make me keep warm when diving..somemore u can get a gloves to make u more warm.. im always diving with a hoodie, rashguard and short..

The dive center will provide all the necessary dive outfit for you to maintain your body warmth in the water, i.e. wetsuits.

Most of us dive in rashguards and board shorts in our local waters. Wetsuits can be a bit too warm for some of us.

You can get wetsuits and rashguards at any dive shops (listed on the first page of this thread). Wetsuits starts at around RM 300 or so. Rashguards can also be found at Ripcurl or any other shops that sells swim wear. You can wear your rashguard under the wetsuits if you are super afraid of cold.

This one handphone numbers. That one numbers.

Thanks a lot guys for the diver wear tips. Will proceed to purchase a rash guard for a start.

I used 1mm wetsuit in tulamben even though water is cooler than Msia waters

Btw any good diving off Kota Kinabalu ?

Thinking can go after work trip

recommend 3/2mm in Tulamben avoid hypothermia...

Hey Guys,

To those of you who are using Kevlar/braided hoses. There's been talks in the dive community about them being faulty and recalls from manufacturers. It seems some of the hoses are causing explosive incidents and delivery of insufficient air supplies.
