QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jul 21 2015, 04:19 PM) 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. I did it under my University Program. It was in Pulau Perhentian, 3 days 2 night just about rm6xx in total.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? Not much of a reason, just wanted to challenge myself more. Just $$ issue  |

QUOTE(EvanSoon @ Jul 21 2015, 04:31 PM) For diving, $$ and time is always an issue. Its not a rushing thing, you have a life time ahead of diving. Yeah... Just recently having ample time due to internship so wanna spend the time properly... but again the $$$ issue hahaby the way, specialty is not technical. Go for advance first and slowly dive around, too many places to dive. |

QUOTE(photopro @ Jul 29 2015, 01:00 AM) Glad to know that you enjoyed. But it should be better. To me it was a horrible course managed by the instructor and only on the last day that I knew that there's only 1 real instructor. Other than that was the instructor 'helper'. If I knew it since the first day, I'll banned them straightaway. Gosh. Course conducted in a miserable and dangerous way. This is solely my opinion as the person in charge of managing your tanks and boats around the island. Just wondering who are you now If this reply is inappropriate, I will delete it with no hard feeling. =)  Yeah... safety was an issue during that time, but so far the "helper" do have instructor license too, so it was fine. My batch have like 4 helper with 1 "real" instructor. So it was okay |

QUOTE(wKkaY @ Jul 29 2015, 08:50 PM) How many students in total? 24, but we split into 2 session, 12 each. Anyway it is messy cause Major like to instill "discipline" and let us learn how to manage ourselves. |

Then come and bash us at the end... hahaha... We were like clueless anywayCare to elaborate further? Thanks... |
