I was told that I'm at risk for that too. Optometrists don't normally check for that at my age, but I went to a teaching eye clinic where I was a guinea pig for the students to do ALL sorts of tests on me

Polar is a brand of filters... they make a red filter among others. The polar was USD30 when I bought it. They have a combo red & macro filter which I bought for maybe SGD110 +-.

Anyone dived in Pattaya before? Any comment? Worth to go?

Owhhhh.... Didn't know there was purple.. Ugly looking fella... Haha!
Orange Seawings FTW

udive paya vis was not very good as there was heavy storm in the morning

Oooh. How was paya? I've never stayed at paya before.

You took your OW? Or you already certified diver?

Paya is not very happening like salang, good place for relaxing

already certified, went there for fun dive

Ooh. How are the rooms? Story a bit, cost and condition of the island.

Hey guys, i just got my Naui open water license... Just wonder what if i were to contiue, should i try advance course or straight go into the specialization that i am interested to?

What specialization are you looking at? I would say try going for advance than dive a few... no need chase certs, just enjoy..

So far i am interested in technical and rescue course...

Since need to pay, might as well take a course

The room i got was quad sharing, 3d2n rm600 for the room + 5 fun dives (1 shore+4 boat dives).

The island is generally clean, less crowded, not many ang moh on this beach

food wise there are the usual malay/chinese/seafood restaurants, not much nightlife unlike salang

would recommend if you are there for diving and relaxing, it's the 2nd jetty from mersing, that means short ferry ride

You need to be an AOW to do rescue. Also you need a minimum number of dives to be able to take up rescue course.

As for technical dives, you will also need some experience before you can go into it. I'm not sure about the requirements but most people I know who goes into technical are quite experienced divers. After you do your AOW and gain some experience, take up your rescue and technical.

Where did you take your NAUI OW cert?
What made you wanna go into technical diving?

That price is pretty good. With or without equipment rental? Rooms got AC ah?
Raya a lot of ppl or not?

with gear rental, room has ac + hot water, tho i just showered sekali while washing gear outside the dive shop la

the raya crowd was crazy at mersing, strange enough paya wasn't crowded

I did it under my University Program. It was in Pulau Perhentian, 3 days 2 night just about rm6xx in total.

Not much of a reason, just wanted to challenge myself more. Just $$ issue
