Should generally be fine with the DC, since you're not omitting any important safety equipment.

But you will want to think ahead of a plan in case your transmitter fails before the dive or during the dive.

Today I started my dive at 240 bar and my buddy started at 230. When he reached our agreed turn-around pressure of 100 bar, we start heading back. I had 120 at the time, so I thought we were consuming around the same rate. But before we made it back to our original entry point, he surprised me by signaling that he had 30 bar left and wanted to ascend now - when I still had 90 bar.

My point is that air consumption can be irregular, so if you lose your pressure reading, you risk estimating your remaining gas inaccurately.

I m confident, I just scare DC don't allow.

Anyone can recommend a better location for discover scuba?
Perhentian, Tioman, Rawa?
Appreciate it.

I just been to perhentian only. Is nice. Definitely will go again;)

well you could always try the less "touristy" islands like tenggol where im headed this week   

Thanks for the suggestions!
Appreciate it.
I totally forgot about Tenggol. Was only thinking about Perhentian and Tioman.

+1 for Perhentian, Tioman, Redan for DSD.

Why?

Redang don't allow DSD to wear fins though.

btw, just a lil advise... if ur using transmitter pls atleast use pony gauge as backup.

just came back from Octo Diver, Perhentian for 3days trip. vis not great but who cares

The secret dance worked.. 

bad vis still happy coz im divinggggg   

Its okay. we catching pokemon.

If you were alright during your open water dives, I think it's ok to continue to AOWD.

Do you remember...

1) Could you setup all the gear yourself?

2) When you're at the water surface, could you descend without assistance? This means, you release air in your bcd, breathe out, and sink. Or did it take you a long time and your instructor had to come over to help?

3) When you were in the water, did you ever get stuck when you try to swim or breathe?

4) Do you have your own dive computer and know how to read it?

5) Could you do your mask clear skill?

6) Did you check your SPG by yourself throughout the dive, or only when you were asked?

7) When ascending, could you hold a safety stop, or did you go straight to surface?

These are fundamental skills that an OW diver should have when certified... if you have any doubts then you should probably get more supervision before continuing to AOW.

yeah photos or it didn't happen1!
