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

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

When I was looking for my first dive comp, one of the requirements I wanted was a digital compass so I don't have to bring another compass. And guess what, I've not used the digital compass in my dive comp for the past 8 years. No, I do not know how to use it. It is slow as fuck too. And I was looking to buy another compass when I was required to anyways.

So, my advice, don't bother with the digital compass. Just get a basic one, with nitrox settings.

Digital compass on big screen computers like eon steel or perdix is really fast and easy to read icon_rolleyes.gif

Planning to go island somewhere in August (family trip). In this trip, 2 persons interested to get their OWD course (no time for theory + confine in KL).

Since family trip and most of them no planning for OWD, budget hotel basically out of choice. Looking around Tioman, and seems Paya Beach Resort is shortlisted (got swimming pool, although not sure why need swimming pool when got nice beach). Any idea which Dive Center can recommend nearby the resort?

I know there is one DC attached (Diver Cove), but seems not really good review from internet, and not 5 Star IDC.

udive - some instructors good, some instructor bad, speaks chinese, famous because 8tv filmed a few times with time. last time I went there they have morning boat 2 dives and afternoon boat 2 dives. surface interval on boat. that is pretty tiring.
burger - [hearsay] they maki-maki you if you are not their student (got certified elsewhere but only do fun dive with them)

Is this the one beside B&J?

I came back from there over the long weekend.

Anyone tried before Tioman Dive Buddy how is it? Their package seems reasonable though is at Genting.

Where to do advance would be the better one? Perhentian, Tioman or Mabul? I want select the specialty course, some dive centre just force you to take the one they offering.

I'm interested in Wreck, Night and Peak Buoyancy (in addition with the compulsory Deep and Navigation).

Not Specialty but adventure dive.
Just select multiple places and ask them about it. I dont think there is a wreck adventure dive to be done in Mabul. I could be wrong.

Corals Tioman is better but Perhentian fishes more varieties. At least based on my each experience there before. The better one is still Tenggol.

In service industry, cheap doesn't always give you good or even reasonable quality.

Perhentian is famous for churning out students. There are plenty of dive centers there and prices are very competitive.

tagreptiles works there.

Look for a good balance, not the cheapest. If you're seeking the cheapest, you're not in the right mindset to be a diver yet. Diving is not something cheap. Can be affordable, but never cheap. Cheap usually not good, good usually not cheap. But in the case of Perhentian Islands, it is one of the most affordable places to dive/to get certified. Pick a dive centre that you're comfortable with, then look at your budget.

Good luck searching! icon_rolleyes.gif
