Have anyone tried driving over in manukan island (Sabah) or anywhere around it?

And by the way, is it possible to do a refreshment course in Kl/pj?

Anywhere.

Thought many close during that period?

September/October is still fine. Closing season but most are open up to end September for sure.

Go to the southern islands on east coast usually open until October or later.

Means Tioman is good? Any recommendation of dive centre?

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir dan Batin!

do you guys think that dive comp is really needed? if put aside budget issue.

which dive comp you guys using?

which dive comp is good for beginner user?

It's best practice to dive with one. But if you don't own one you could probably rent it from the dive centre that you're diving with.

When i started out I used a zoop (it is now superseded by zoop novo). All manufacturers have entry level dive comps and i think they're all capable enough, so maybe you can choose one based on looks/ergonomics/price.

Abect at Tekek.
DiveAsia at Salang.

Yup. Get a dive Comp. Any entry level ones is good enough for leisure dives.

Sell him yours. You retired from diving already right?

yea i come into this zoop novo as well. just always heard others said if you didnt dive more than 3 time per year, dont have to get the dive comp


should i get the one with digital compass as well?
how often will we use the compass?

p/s: any idea how many dive center at tenggol?
tenggol101? tenggol coral beach? is tenggol island beach same as tenggol coral beach

i rarely use my compass. even it bundle together with my spg i barely note its reading
unless you are venturing without a local guide or doing penetrating wreck dive or cavern dive - i dont see why a digital compass is all that usefull

How bout b&j?

Azmi Dive also okay. I'm a regular there.

Lol most hobbies/sports are born out of desire, not necessity. Nothing is ever needed. Any dive equipment that you can rent or borrow, is optional to own really.

I do a lot of shore dives and a compass is essential. I used to have a separate compass on my wrist, but after getting a dive computer with a builtin compass i use that instead. It costs only RM 300 for the top of the line wrist compass, so it's no big deal if your computer doesn't have one.

I don't think a compass will work in a wreck. Too much metal everywhere. I'll test this next time

Tenggol island beach resort and Tenggol coral is different. I know Tenggol beach bosses
