Hi Guys just want to share my experience with Matahari Divers at Perhentian Kecil. For us it was a mixed feeling because we had some good and some bad dives, and it was all down to the DM bringing us down.
For the first 2 days, we were led by this angmoh skinniy girl, can't remember her name. But she was those ' bitchy but nice words' type of person. Clearly very impatient, she gave us like 40 minute dives, compared to the others which were at least 55 minutes. That's a difference of 15 minutes. And we weren't the only ones that commented, other people also said, that was quick to her face but she didn't really care.
Our first dive had some complications due to not enough weght and she just left us! I tried to signal to her below that my girl had problems but they just swam away and 10 mins later resurfaces and she was mad. Saying why we didn't stick with the group. heloo we can't even descend how to to stick with you? And she was super impatient when it came to our buoyancy, when we clearly told her we are newly certified OW with only 5 dives.
The chalet was so so, nothing to shout about, but livable. Just have to adjust a bit with the electricity that turns of in afternoon. Water pressure was really low as well, minor things as we went on budget trip.
The other dives were awesome but as a whole tend to think their divers just want to get it over and done with. 1 was really good, but maybe cos he is young and still energtic.
Please give this feedback to the owner, get that skinny angmoh bitch out please.
Haha. That's the problem with diving, you would never know what kind of DM your gonna get and if he/she is still there at the center as they move around. Can always request to change DM at the center if you don't like the one leading you.
Its good also that you meet this early in your diving stage as you know to depend on yourself more than depending on the DM that often.
