Hm you'll need a powerful whistle as well. Haha. My whistle is more compact than powerful. SMB also smaller than usual size. My normal sized one leaking edi hahaha.

i bought the Windstorm whistle for Rm50 at Scuba Warehouse. it sounds loud enough, and it even works underwater hehe

Tenggol last Saturday was super - dolphins swimming with the boat, and Mr Whale Shark appeared too! had about ten minutes observing the guy, about 5-6m, they say it's juvenile, there was a bigger one around at the same time.

Bad thing happened though - my first stage got stuck and i had to do CESA from 10m depth. On inspection, there was a build-up of silicon around the filter or opening of the first stage where it connects to tank. anyone seen this before?

i did take my buddy's regulator, but then i felt i was taking in water so i went up.

yes there was a lot of hard breathing, fighting current.  on the boat we all checked and everyone tasted the stuff, so yea it was silicon and salt and sand. i send my set for service annually. strange... so two things:

1) silicon from some part of my gear

2) It came from inside the tank.

The East Coast Islands is the closest to KL that one can do the qualifying dives?

Any recommended dive schools which charges fairly?

What's a fair price? I've been quoted from 900 to 1300.

Yeah I did read about MIDE this month end. Was thinking of trying to get the Open Water Diver this year if I can because am thinking of going for a Lombok-Komodo sailing trip next year and trying to squeeze in some dives there if possible.

The Perama boat? That was a few years back right? Been reading a lot on the trip. Need to make sure I don't go during monsoon season. Still has it's dangers but been something I was looking forward to do.

The one I'm thinking of taking is possibly the Phinisi boat trip with Kencana Adventures and maybe the dive with Dive Komodo, granted if I have the license that is.

Anyway, I digress. Need to research and find a schedule to do the Open Water course that would fit my current annual leave situation.

Strong and dangerous current...... think twice.... but.... thats where all the good stuff are!!!!!

Evan,flora..... mola mola dive also no better rite.....  high risk....

both rescue and dmt are on gorilla......

which is preferred...taking bus or driving...from KL to mersing?
at this moment, the bus schedule will be arriving way earlier than ferry depart.

is there safe place to park car there?

the last bus from here is 6pm, reach there 10pm. ferry next morning 6am. =.=

I don't know is this somewhere I can get help. Recently I take PADI OWD course, but I only given access to Online Manual. Without internet, I can't read on it.

Anyone have pdf version? Apparently mine can't add into PADI Library.
