Uncle how to cari makan...

Seaventures, good choice. They are famous with good foods. Hopefully can dive with them soon...

5m vis is really suck especially for sipadan but it's luck and good reason to visit again...

No see any shark at sipadan? school of barracuda was was in vortex?

I would b damn happy seeing those creatures especially for 1st trip... thx for the sharing

sharks mostly are black tip, only saw 1 lonely white tip.
no hammy nid go to layang2 only got hammy

saw school of barracuda at barracuda point i think, but not as big as another school at paradise (forgot 1 or 2).
overall sipadan not so impress for this trip

i oso tell myself the bad vis will b the reason to go back again.

For Hammerhead, layang2 is definitely better option, plus the 5m vis then did not help as Well...

wahhh... suddenly so active again....

pls be inform that hammy sighting in layang layang is not guaranteed... I have frens who went there 3 times and haven't even seen shadow of a single hammy.... April and May is the best time to spot them....

heard that it's now RM6k+ to dive in Layang layang!!!!!

ouch... ur fren no fate with hammy?
btw.. 6k is too much d for me... i rather split it for 2-3 trip...

Yay these lovely creatures are living in the sea or ocean... just like weather and vis.. no guarantee wan lol...

3 visits and see no HH and with the present price... Total s Rm18k++ speechless

Cry me a river..uuuu..18k go r4 and komodo and bunaken..

Looks like it's going to be a good day to dive!

Any day is good if we can dive...

how much is the course to get the first cert/dive license

It varies at different dive centers.

Here in Padang, the course is RM1050 which includes all material and equipment to get certified, plus RM950 for a 4d3n stay in Padang which includes meals and transport from the airport to the island and back.

usually how many lvl is there for dive cert? try to google but can seen to get any info

Difficulty is subjective... If you have a fear of water, then it will be more difficult...
