i mean i understand DSD is like a tryouts session, but doesnt doing it multiple times already prove you are into it? at least thats what i understand, since not everyone thinks the same i wont compare.

although what i thought earlier was flo already had an OWD but still took a DSD which might had let me to a little bit of confusion is where im at now,sorry if i misunderstood

Lol. Sorry for the multiple posts of the same message.

hehe nah.. thought u have tried out some form of diving before buying equipment. Coz thats a big leap and commitment to buy first in case you later realise its not what you want.. Furthermore, some people realise they have problems when they dive or turn out hating it or cant even use it.

well damn.. thats just u know.. scarier.. furthermore, you know what you are talking about and qualified.. damn..

Look at these people doing advance. I suspect the guy need a refresher. He is positive buoyant at the beginning, then negative all they way down and getting tired. You can still die of drowning several days later if your lungs fill with water.. always need to go hospital to check I guess.

well i did have some looooooong deep considerations about that part,but my commitment began the moment i was nose deep *pun intended* into the research and homework done,i dont wanna bore you but this habit carried on from my studying days although..hint hint im still studying that if i made the commitment to research something i will see it till the end or get it done, thats why i said i dont want to compare with people since we are from all walks of life right ?

although please dont abuse your age and experiences on me

Yea could see that they were not comfortable in the water and some seems a little over weight since they needed to fin to ascend plus knocking to the bottom.
This is why experience comes into play, knowing what to do and keeping calm is the main thing.

Wow..... look at the amount of weight they carry.... they guy blew his ear drums yet still continue descending.... hero.....

Go back masuk hospital only ma.

He vertigo already wor. Mati lu if something goes wrong. Than very painful ler.
Than infection + lost of hearing.

Blew eardrums..means equalized dy..ma continue descending lo lololol

isnt that bad.....

LOL dammit, it's a luck thing huh. Those are some scary waves! I read some blogs / TripAdvisor reviews and it stated that April is end of dry season and May is when the rainy season starts, so Apr still ok to dive. Hehe your description of the SI will be something I'm gonna look forward to!

Very bad...

Here's some of my photos from Koh Lanta. During my stay there, the beaches were generally quiet, which is great if you're bringing a family or a partner there.


The shorter time that you are at a destination, the more that luck is involved in getting good weather

Whether you are taking a course or doing fun dive with a guide, always proceed with a reasonable doubt. Some instructor/DM have no concern for safety and do whatever it takes for better tip or whatever reason they may have. Eg. taking you beyond your training capability or diving at a dangerous dive site.

That video clearly shows its the inexperience of the instructor. Having giving the students too much weight and performing a negative entry. By right, it's not advisable to take a panic diver up to the surface so fast unless its a life threatening situation. He needs to calm down the panic diver before proceeding to ascend. If instructor didnt caught the diver's fin and prevent him from bolting up, it might cause AGE.

Anyone been to Sardine Run diving? Or who is interested to go?

Planning for 2017 ~ dive trips. In South Africa.

Confirmed sighting: Whales, Humpback Whales, Great White Sharks, Thousands of Dolphins, Sailfish, Seal etc ...
