perghhh mr dm in the houseeee  

Yes, D Lagoon. Turtle and dunno what Ray... Haha.
And spotted a lot of small sharks at beach Infront coral bay resort while snorkeling.. And some fish bite me...
Pinnacle current was strong. Haven start to dive already get exhausted because of need to kick hard to the dive point before descend.
Found when my weight is just good at starting. After my tank go less then 35bar. my buoyancy go positive and I can't manage to stop ascend. can't stop at safety stop.
Next dive need add weight then..

if really out of air I will just swim up with keep blowing air out from lung, and inflat my BCD by mouth on surface. not dangerous actually. hehe. because safety stop is done.

say...ive been doing plenty of homework on equipment i think its time i asked about the meat of the question which is which dive centers do you people obtain from on average? from the past threads especially V2 i recall seeing flo saying most people on these forums take them from divers den.

how are the instructors like? if possible contacts would be nice too 

personal preferences on instructors might be i suppose people of about slightly older than me say 27s~30s? kinda awkward if my instructor is like super decorated very old which makes me feel so small.....oh and i dont know color me picky but a female dive instructor would be nice too since in my experience with general teachers/lecturers/instructors who are female tends to be less abrasive but generally if its not possible i guess ill make do.

sorry if this sounds too demanding like a kind of steep prerequisite since ive been reading plenty of dive tragedies which might slightly make my choices biased...

Any tips on how to select a good instructor? Was planning to visit Sabah as well, but it's just that my friends are sceptical about the kidnappings and stuff like that.

Bila mahu coffee

Yea. Cos I've seen people who goes "I have 50 dives under my belt so I can dive 60m" *cough* ya*cough*nie *cough*

Wanna upgrade and share shipping? Found a storm whistle here for $11, but shipping is $10

Done OWD & Advance, going to do rescue and dm end of year.. need to rackup dives to 60? Argghh..

dear sipus...
pls rekemen dc to do rescue

octo tu ape

Can do 60 dives in a year easily. Sap sap water. Very fast one.
Why you not yet DM

Might pull a Yanie and go on day 1.. if not Day 2 and 3 for me.

So we lunch at nandos again?

Rescue also I belum finish. Hahaha.
Mabul/Sipadan one trip with unlimited house reef dives can log about 12-15 dives. If you semangat, 1 day 7 dives can do also.

Min 60 log dives a year is about average 1 dive trip each month. Unless you're the super lepak type do maybe 2-3 dives a trip haha.

The person told me from ABC go tekek is 10 minutes walk? Is it true? I prefer a relaxing trip where can chill on beach after dive during evening, if so ABC sounds better?

Just read trip advisor for BnJ, they require refresher course if didn't dive for more than 1 year. I did my OW last July and didn't manage to have time to dive, but going Tenggol on Oct and most likely Tioman next year. Both paid deposit during MIDE.

Any other place for me to do refresher? Perhaps pool dive? PJ palm pool?

Yes, 10 minutes walk thru the path, but Tekek is huge. Once you cross over to Tekek, it's the marine park. Nothing much there. If you wanna walk to Tekek beach from ABC takes a long time. Land taxi from marine park to Tekek beach there, I took once cause legs patah edi, was about RM20 per car.

Most places require you to do refresher. Anywhere also can do. Just call up the dive centers. Or any DMs can also do for you. tagreptiles

U can contact BnJ Martin for the MIDE tioman rm450 package.(this week last)
Email "martin@divetioman.com"

For the diving schedule dunno contact who. Haha.
Anyhow, I alone will dive there on 27aug(Sat).

Forum too quiet. So boring one.

What other activities do you guys do other than diving and drinking for your trips? Discuss.
