Cool. I only got 6 at the moment. Am coincidentally going to Aceh in July(tickets were bought even before I did my OW in April). Don't know whether I should consider a dive there or not. Is it doable? Or not advisable for newbies.

My buoyancy seemed fine, until I got to Mabul. Did DSD there. When I did my OW in Sapi, was given a weight belt with 8 weights, was told it was 8kgs. Descended easy with controlled breathing and some finning. The same when I did my fun dive also in Sapi a few weeks after. However, when I got to Mabul. They told me that each of their weight was 2.5kgs so they gave me like 4, inserted into the BCD's pocket. Was extremely difficult for me to descend. Wondering whether the weights were 2.5kgs each or just 1kg.

ghostshellzeagle scout. LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO MANAGE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DRY VERY FAST. TRUST ME you will want your BCD to dry FAST!
You can thank me later.

Ladies and gents,

I think I've asked this before but did not get an answer. Would like to ask for opinions.I am considering getting an action camera for dives. Googling around suggest getting a Yi 4K HD as it is said to be equivalent to a Gopro Hero 6 but at a much lower price point. So am considering getting this. Anyone had any experience using this for diving? Or should I just go for a Gopro Hero 5?

ooooo tqtq.

looking at bigfin divers in Kota Belud as well

Just did my AOW at Bigfin divers Kota Belud last weekend.

Very unlucky day as it was the day that the typhoon wrecked Hong Kong and Kota Belud sort of affected. As soon as i arrived it was already raining heavily. The waves were strong, water was quite choppy. Visibility wasn't that great. Vomited for all 5 of my dives Even vomited underwater when doing PPB. My mistake for not taking any seasick medication beforehand either.

But my (last) Fish ID Dive at Mayne's Reef was the best. Loads of reefs everywhere. Visibility was much better here. Hope to return again during non rainy seasons.

Hello !

There's some stuffs I'm not certain about , would like to ask for opinions.

So I'm short sighted perhaps -0.5.
Astigmatism is about 0.75.

So far I've not been diving with contact lenses at all.

If I'm on land / daily activities , wearing my glasses will make me see colors more sharp / colorful as it helps my eye to focus.

What about in the water ?
Will Toric lenses improve colors in the water as it helps my eye focus better ?

Not planning on prescription mask. my short sighted is self corrected in water , just my astigmatism.

I'm wondering in more of color / sharpness perspective.

Series of mishaps = no need presc mask ? How you FIXED your eyes with a SERIES of MISHAPS ?

Interesting! I'm at risk of retinal detachment too due to my high myopia... One day if i need to go for surgery i will surely ask you for some life advice

Any recommended dive centre? Heading to Brunei in March for an over weekend trip. So could probably squeeze in a dive or 2 on the Friday evening.

How much did they charge?

thanks in advance!

anyone taken OWD course + dorm accommodation at Mamutik Island with Borneo Divers in KK?
Mind to share the experience there?

Hunting for a package in either KK or Mabul at year end
It's a bit difficult for solo traveler like me, as most packaged rooms are for twin sharing, hard to find single room unless you're willing to pay extra surcharge

Amigo ah?
