QUOTE(guitaristdavid @ Nov 11 2015, 12:33 PM) The easier way is get AA tickets (wednesday, Friday and Sunday) from KUL-BPN, then get a domestic flight from BPN-BEJ, arrived in the afternoon, can arrange pick up from BEJ airport to the jetty (2hours) then at the jetty take 1hr speed boat to the island. for airway tickets, to and flo is about RM1k (normal price if you could not wait the cheap fares). normally pick up from airport to jetty and vice versa will be included in your package or hotel accommodation package... 1k include domestic flight? That don't seem that bad. which place did you stay with?

QUOTE(guitaristdavid @ Nov 11 2015, 04:10 PM) yeah, inclusive of domestic flight. AA normally will come to Rm700, if now superb hot seasons, domestic will only costs about RM200 to RM300 or 350 (if you are not taking Garuda)... the Island called Derawan Island, Borneo, Kalimantan Timur, Indonesia. If you have decided to come over, i can provide you the Resort Manager contact, so that you can liase with him directly. And if your schedule is good, and im free, i can tag along (normally during weekend especially end of month). Maybe, next year plans seems kinda full for me but I've always wanted to try Derawan and Sangalaki out. Last time I estimated the budget to dive there to be about 4k for 4 nights stay and 3 dive/day including transportation there. Jellyfish lake

QUOTE(demetrius @ Nov 14 2015, 09:42 AM) Just a survey. Do you all subscribe to dive magazines or read any dive literature? If so, which? nope but I read forums. But if you do please take it with a pinch of salt only. Everyone has different diving style just like different cultures have different liking in types of food.

QUOTE(raist86 @ Nov 19 2015, 03:08 PM) gonna be diving at Dive Concepts Tulamben on 28th Nov 2015. Anyone gonna be there at the same time? Took the 1 day 3 dive package with hotel transfer as coming from Ubud... I don't have a dive comp, is it recommended to rent one from them? it cost about RM 30 for whole day. How much is it to dive tulamben 3 dives a day? Dive comp is up to you but I would say safety is important so yes. RM30 i cheap.

QUOTE(raist86 @ Nov 19 2015, 04:51 PM) I'm paying about IDR 1,190,000 per pax for 3 dives, inclusive of transit, lunch, equipment rental & dive guide. All other places i've checked charge in USD and this place quite highly recommended even though equipment may not be as new. Quite highly rated on Tripadvisor. http://www.diveconcepts.com/Nice. thats about 400 bucks. Yea I saw a lot are charging USD and only 2 dives a day for about 125USD

QUOTE(Winter_ @ Nov 21 2015, 12:15 PM) What do you guys think of the Suunto d4i novo as a starter dive comp? Its okay, but keep in mind after awhile the strap might wear off. Remember to learn how to properly use it

QUOTE(Ace1191 @ Nov 22 2015, 11:15 PM) Hi, Would like to ask where did you guys take your DM course? Is there any dive centre that offers exchange programme, like working there for a period of 3 months and in return they will certify my DM license and includes my accommodation and meals? There is quite a few like in cambodia, vietnam and even bali. Met someone that does it for free in exchange for 6 months. Now problems with this kind of internship is they might make use of you and might not certify you unless you make them happy. So beware.

QUOTE(demetrius @ Dec 14 2015, 11:12 PM) Wow 450 bucks for a dive...but at least it guarantees sighting of sharks. Haha. Maybe we should have TT session to plan trips for the next year..itching to dive but got no buddy as enthusiastic as me. We gave up planning for trips already. It always goes from 15 people to 10 than those that actually goes = 5. No point for the person organizing.

QUOTE(ukiya @ Dec 15 2015, 02:27 PM) all u need is just committed kaki only... dont so plan so far la... as in distance and price... plan near near like an annual dive trip to nearby island in Malaysia lah... Only once every 2 year once go oversea. like yesterday ... I m tried to ask n called about 12 persons asking them whether wanna go Bali or not!? Return flight baggage with 30kg, in flight entertainment, during raya break no need take so many annual leave, foods included. Only 3 confirmed... all said too far, very hard to predict future activities... All only just for RM285.90 return flight Bali, taxes, 30kg return baggage, foods all included. But only 3 confirmed... Try plan somewhere near lo.. I have some plan plan coming soon.. near near no need plan lo.. just pack bags and go. give longer period of time is so that people can plan their budget, end up most would go other trips or say no money.

QUOTE(ukiya @ Dec 15 2015, 03:29 PM) quite true in some ways... If there's offers RM300 all in for 5 boat dives for 3d2n at certain dates... wonder how many people would interest to go or not?! tats very dirt cheap price edy... Perhentian and Tioman... Not all. Price is one thing, comfort is also being viewed.

QUOTE(- JaY - @ Dec 18 2015, 02:05 AM) It is a "Edge Epic", from Scubaholics Anonymous. I think it would cost about 300. When would be your next dive trip? I doubt you would need a full service so soon. Just ask them to check for you and pay RM50, unless they give you special service since you bought from them.

But it all depends on the instructor QUOTE(uturn @ Jan 20 2016, 05:33 PM) WEii.. Abect moving where?... hopefully the makcik who does the cooking follows him too...
