Let me comment some points for Seawing Nova and Seawing Nova Gorilla...
1. Seawing never got cheaper in MIDE. Last year discount was like 10-20% depend who u r to them, Seatlxntxs.
2. Scubapro products best you deal with HK Diving Express, they usually having end year sales one. I got mine as a gift from there also about RM500 back in 2013.
3. Seawing Nova Gorilla, generally u require more strength to kick and hence the stronger propulsion and u get to swim further. But if u r not sportman/athlete/frequent exercise person, avoid this as you may get cramp often.
4. Seawing Nova, I in love with this fins. Generally it works well thru out all situation. Straps, flex rubber part, older batch tends to tear. Now they said they make it "Indestrutible" not sure how true is tat...
5. Another way is buy from Lazada.
For example: This Seawing Nova Product LZD Links selling RM748.
If you have Maybank card, buy on Wednesday on app, u get additional 12% off which your final price would be around RM658.24 or which ever discount code allow you to get more value.
For Size wise, u go Seatlantix and try out lo, and buy online. For RM658.24 is not too bad wat! No need to rebut with people in MIDE plus u get additional BCards Points or AirAsia Points... hahahaa...
*Even shop give u discounted price in MIDE, I think RM658.24 is still hard to beat!

In case you wanna dive with sharks in future, let's say Bahamas. Diving with Tiger Sharks.
I've been warned not to bring striking colors types gears down there. U don wanna have a test bite on your gears from those sharks right!?

Lazada is good. last time I order wetsuit. After it arrived I found the size is not fit for me. and then i return the wetsuit and get refund. good service. thumbsup.gif

well well well i'll be damned,Maybank debit card? ✔ 658ish > Diving Express @ 720(with shipping) although what are the shipping rates for lazada as the site states the product is being shipped from overseas because if it ends up costing more than 720 compared to Diving Express i might as well drop the bomb there instead.

and striking colors you say? another reason not to get obnoxious orange although.....PINK BRIGHT *expletive* PINK!

Shipping fees for Lazada for item more than RM100 usually is free!
Not necessary using Maybank, everyday they have different bank discount one.

Raya Promo is happen everyday, just look out for possible vouchers code. And Nix it. Who' knows u probably get a better deal compare than using cards. Head over to Lazada Thread for more info.

Personally I do not enjoy dealing with Seatlantxx. Of all the dive shop I went, there r the only shop who will not give any additional discount to DM/Professional Divers ie Instructors. If u want discount, they will ask u go other shop instead... doh.gif

Enjoy shopping!

That's y, buy only when discount vouchers or the value is higher.

As such, certain days, bank like RHB do give 12% discount. Then go ahead and buy!

Lazada, some of the dive stuff is very cheap. Dive Comp, Fins, Regulators sometime... Just need to look up and stand by for getting it "anytime"...

wow assuming i pull the trigger on a wednesday with coupons 608MYR doesnt sound so far fetched,thanks all for the superb bargain hunting. though i just find it redonculous that fleecing is not outlawed in malaysia.
by the way usually whats the maximum amount of business days until delivery? if its more than 5 business days then i might buy it before MIDE otherwise i might as well buy it now-ish

Never met anyone using Tusa fins. But the few reviews available online say good all rounder fins that are powerful yet easy on legs. Hmm.... really hope to make a good choice so I wont end up buying new fins every MIDE. icon_rolleyes.gif

well...from a quick browse about rainbow runner has it 663MYR sooo.....assuming you buy at MIDE could it be possibly 600ish? 10% off seems about right to me although dont quote me on that since im sort of gunning for a Scubapro Seawing myself....

EDIT: well sun paradise is selling the aforementioned and i assume you meant Tusa Solla for about 479?

Whats your budget?
MIDE I estimate it would be about 550. 2 years back when I was looking for the fins it was 450 but RM was better that time.

Expecting it may not be that cheap due to weaker currency settings. Plus they renting booths so cost wise slightly higher.

Still ... You can find photography equipment, dive computers and regulator, these are the hot cakes! Usually these stuff have to get first or second day of MIDE. Some time there are great bargains.

BCD, Dive accessories you can get it even the last day. Probably no size but u still can place deposit and grab it later when stock is available. BCD usually last day have more bargain.

Throughout the dive fair... Diving Trips, Courses is available tru out the fair so get it on the last day also no problem unless LOB whereby u need to reserve a seat before its full.

now now... sweat.gif im not trying to pick a cyber fight but really its just a personal preference of colors,beeeeeeeesides i might aswell invest in a dive light if visibility becomes a hot topic or use sound signals.

I take that as a joke and not a fight. Any ways, there are reasons for these colors other than looking nice too. Dive lights are good for people to see you in low vis from a certain direction and sound signals are not very helpful in finding the location as sound travels differently in water.

The Pink color is very easy to spot UW although it does not look pink. Just saying.

Okay now, IMO, you should not be thinking about equipment yet. You have yet to experience a dive so would not know how things would be to your liking and these things are not cheap (unless you are rich). Getting a mask is okay since its not that expensive and would really change the experience but fins, I doubt you should. I mean you haven't even find out what kicking style you would like or even how buoyant your legs would be -> specially with booties (when I read you wanted 5mm booties I was already going OhGod). I know there are a lot of different comments out there but everyone has their own dive style so it would be good to take those comments with just a pinch of salt, same goes to mine.

Well for starters i do cycle alot,i dont suppose that should do some damage in the water and 700+ refers to the gorilla or standard nova? diving express is selling the gorilla for about 640 but the color they have available is orange which is a tad bit obnoxious personally tongue.gif

well as for booties and masks,generally i like to follow a few hard and fast rules which i carry over from PC Building which is to not underspend or overspend but spend on the best thing you can afford within a given set budget which is about 1100 for the said 3 basic equipment which shouldnt be too bad.

as for branding i dont really mind,it really isnt a must to get everything from scubapro with the exception of the fins tongue.gif

i guess from the information ive gathered so far im still within my set target budget assuming i go with the average prices youve mentioned 700ish?(fins) + 100(booties) + 150(mask) = 950ish?
although i hope during MIDE the seawings would be cheaper than expected...?
*
Would suggest that you raise the price expectation for the mask. I spent that amount (in 2013, prior to gst and ringgit slide) and it was the first thing I replaced with something better.
