If you search back few pages, or the previous thread, I'm quite sure there were quite some discussion on Tenggol.

I thought somebody going to Taiwan.

Which dive center? How much for the 4D3N trip?

Tenggol is very popular among divers. This year itself MIDE so many booth on Tenggol.

Have fun trying to concentrate

Yup. They are based on the mainland. Which is good. Because there's phone signal connection there.

Whereas on island, send out SMS also susah. 🙄

Plus all the sandflies. Haha.

Well I did DSD twice

Because I wanted to try out diving then? Duhhhh.

Cause not everyone can dive. Majority can, but not everyone enjoys it also. Some of my friends really want to dive, but certain things stop them from taking the OW license.

DSD is only RM200 or so only. So why not try it out before really investing in an OW license? When I did it years back, it was prolly below RM100 haha.

Go back masuk hospital only ma.

Oh oh, I call that the gangster fish. Kena attack by gangster fish in Tenggol before.

There you go - Tenggol

Sharks are equally scary all right.

Why joo no rike Tenggol?

Good choice.

AOW will help fine tune your skills and prep you for more challenging leisure dives in the future. It's not that difficult and I would say if you have the time and opportunity to go ahead and do both together, then go ahead.

I personally prefer to have a few dives first to get used to the whole diving thing then learn the additional AOW knowledge. It's really up to you though.

Hahaha. Wait till someone poisons you on uw photography.

Which color did you get? The pastel colors are sooo

Haha. Really up to you. I also like to experience different environment and instructors so if I were you, I would just do leisure and do my AOW with someone else. With more dives, you get to meet more people and maybe get an idea of what kind of instructor you wanna engage in the future.

My OW, AOW, Rescue, Nitrox and Sidemount certs all done by different instructors Almost did my wreck at Brunei but cancelled due to sea conditions then. So yea, come to think of it, all different instructors lol. Learn different experiences from different instructors based at different places

Good decision
Have fun underwater!

Pillows are important to some. Haha. Can bring own pillow.

Oi I very loyal wan ok. Lol.

Rooms at Salang pretty much all also "just go and sleep" type

If I'm not mistaken. It is minimum 40 logged dives for dive master course.

Highly doubt Padi standards is min 50 for AOW.

Some instructors I know do implement their own min logged dives for rescue course. Some dive sites are generally more challenging and naturally require more experience even for leisure divers, e.g. Komodo, Sophie wreck at Weh, magnet at Lombok and so on.

Haha Salang very small only. I guess the restaurant right in front of the jetty more happening at night. I also haven't been there lately, have been frequenting Tekek more last year.

Not cold ahhhhh. Auckland cold gila.

Wow such green water.

What happen? Care to share about your experience? Just saw your reply

When a diver panics, such cases are not uncommon. You'll learn this during your rescue diver course. They also will rip your mask and regulator off your face and push you further into the water most of the time.
