i'm really interested to buy Lego scuba diver. so far there is one set available at the toy stores (Lego City range). is there any other options?

hi hi... going Tenggol 9 July (Sat) , one day diving. All for compressed air fix.

interested, give a holler.

try on. fits face and feet. nice matching colours. pay. buy trip at same time.

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.

if you are short of time on island, then you will do the theory and pool sessions in town, your cost will be higher.

e.g.
OW at Seamonkey PJ RM 1,200
Island diving RM 400 (not inc transport, lodging, food)

the plus point of this is, you will have a more relaxing time on island, no stress and rush, and wont fall asleep on the manual at night

i'll be at Mide tomorrow friday morning around 11am
maybe sunday too. and/or saturday

every day with wallet freshly topped up har har

huh..wrong forum har har... maybe you can try at Chow Kit or Plaza City One if you looking for wholesaler you can PM me.

i been there, it's good. very relaxing. good diving at the wrecks, good accomodation and overall experience.

when we gonna have TT . someone buy me dinner. spent so much at MIDE! gawwdddd this is a crazy sport.

bought plenty... regulator (mares 22x), camera tray+torch adaptor. Dry bag Akona, nice soft material. Free dry bag from Indonesia booth

Bought B&J trip, RM700. Didnt buy the other trips, all in USD can dream about Timor Leste and Malapascua

TT... not this weekend, am going to Pulau Bidong. updates later.

Tray+torch adaptor 580. seems like crazy impulse buy. dont know about serious. lets see how my clownfish looks the next time i go diving

Tenggol is ok. The chance to play with whale shark - ULTIMATE. Tenggol 101 still have their MIDE promo til this weekend if you want. dont know about the other resorts on the island.

ah... back on land (sadly). Pulau Bidong / Pulau Yu - off Merang - makes for pretty good diving, lots of fish, saw some turtles, nurse sharks, and clownfish low currents, decent viz of up to 15m. warm waters. Healthy corals.

Seamonkey Divers - good, with a big boat to take us out, and plenty divemasters. On last dive i counted one instructor and two divemasters looking out for us.

Overall, i'd say it's one place to try out. beats the crazy perhentian crowd.

A reminder that scuba diving is an extreme sport, everyone keep fit and be safe and vigilant.

i used to be pretty lax about buddying up, but now (from experience) i want at least one buddy within 2m of me, yo!

i just did Bidong. good too. DEFINITELY not touristy. love the peace and quiet.

Anyone going Perhentian in October. i'm thinking of going to do my Rescue+EFR. Long Beach for sure.
