[attachmentid=9760641]

Budget for DiveComp around 1-2k...

Suunto Zoop Novo you mean?

how heavy your camera? i have no issue using this coil..quiet tahan..no problems at all..bought at scubatexpro MIDE last3 years ago..

Generally it's quite tahan. Unless your camera super heavy even when it's in the water.

But I still paranoid cause I lost camera before (found it later on the surface though). So I tend to hold onto my camera or let the strap go around my fingers or wrist if I want to free up my hands.

I also thinking about this question, last time I used to use gopro4, so no problem. Recently bought a Olympus TG5, currently without any dive light, but I feel unsafe clipping it like that..

When doing giant entry, I dont know how to secure the camera.. Maybe should change and use left hand holding regulator and mask, right hand holding camera?

 

pass to ur buddy la.

MIDE got sell RM30-50 only..
The lanyard coil should be enough to handle your camera TG Tracker / TG5 Camera. 

can..or just ask our member here to tapau for you at this MIDE

Get your buddy to jump into the water after you do

TG5 is tiny and light. I'm sure no issues.

I know people with DSLR and 2 strobes also just clip it like that underwater. Some have another clip to secure it cause it's huge and will move around if not secured properly.

When entering water, get someone on the boat to pass it to you. I usually hug it towards my chest with one hand and other hand still secure mask and reg.
Ya, somehow very lucky. It was those old Canon housing that was colorful and hence easier to spot when on surface.

yeah finally done my open water
this year can go MIDE as a diver hehe

If u wanna play underwater photography then buy tg5 or if u just wanna do videos..i think better u stay with your tg tracker..all depends on you..ask yourself bro..hehe..

haha ty
nah dont think i will buy any for now
gonna master skill more 1st before buying hehe just plan on going to see see look look

I am newbie here will be heading to MIDE also. Can a baby shark like me join? 

They come with hoses, but you can replace them with something else if you like.

I recommend DIN over yoke, it's more compact, reliable, and lighter.. But you need to ask the dive center ahead of time if they have compatible tanks.

Why do you want the hoses to be turnable? They're useful in some specific advanced setups but aren't an advantage for standard recreational setups. PS i don't think that reg can be turned.

Yea you can change the hoses to braided hose which are softer but requires replacement like every 2 months.
Most island uses Yoke tanks but have Din tanks that has a tank converter to Yoke. They just need to unscrew it.
I think I know what you mean. The turning of the 1st stage low pressure connectors. If you get the braided hose maybe you dont need it. I had both and currently using non turnable one. Not much difference but if you prefer turnable one why not.

Sorry. 2 years not months.
No extra cost but depends on availability. U need buy an adapter just in case. But best inform earlier so they can prepare beforehand.

Hmm it might be something else that was causing that pull. If you limit yourself to regulators with that feature, there's not many choices left. Apeks UST/DST, Scubapro Mk25, and clones of them.

I use to have a Din reg. My adapter was 160. Brand is not important. Now I am using a Yoke reg. Din too troublesome for me.
Go MIDE look should be able to get regs below 3k but dont go for those like Edge or HOG or any unknown brands. Servicing n quality of build is important.

Yeah all the major brands have conversion kits, it's a 5 minute job switching from one to the other.

btw do you guys do dive log book?
or any record for the dive u did?

How is it like to change BCD on top of water while you are not good at swimming?

Personally I think that's the hardest part for people who don't know how to swim or stay on top of water.

any feedback on TG Tracker? i saw some deal from Trinity Scuba. Pros and cons please. thanks

I have been using Scubapro one with the turning on 1st stage as you are looking for. I have also used rental regulators and other random friends regulators who don't mind me using their regs. And honestly, I don't find any differences. My hoses are pretty short too.

From what I understand, the softer hose doesn't last as long as rubber hose.
I like Ripcurl ones. Basically the only important criteria is that you look good in it.

Unless you are looking for something more than a rash guard, like sharkskin kinda top where it's windproof and blah blah blah. Rashguard doesn't really do anything other than prevent you from being sting by whatever under the sea (doesn't protect you from triggerfishes either) and making you look good.
Yup. I draw, write, attach polaroid photos to it too.

does dive comp have limit on how many dive can be store?

Different BCD provide different enjoyment. For instant like Zeagle Scout is a Wing BCD.
Wing BCD can achieve perfect buoyancy "easily" with some practice of coz.

Whereby Pocket BCD/Traditional BCD, you unable to stand straight in the water. Your angle somehow slightly tilt. Tho not much difference, but it gave u more pocket to store stuff and accessories.

Donut BCD aim to travel light mostly. Less pocket, less dangling easier to keep.

So is really depend on your preference. All BCD also serve the same purpose. Just your preference and budget only. Brand wise... go some dive shop and learn more bout it then... as for me... all the same la. U buy BCD A or BCD B or BCD C still a BCD.

As long as its function well as a BCD, its already a good BCD. All additional are just side features and marketing gimmicks nia... But of coz if u have more budget, then go for a better one.

As for me, if i teach or dive lead, I preferred pocket BCD, easier to teach and a lot of slate/accessories to carry.
If i go enjoy dive, cincai la, Mares Rover (cheapest in d market) or Zeagle Scout also can... Light and easy!

Yea. Instructor need to rent tank for you and teach you things so yea.
Remember to look for travel BCD than. My Oxycheq uses stainless steel backplate. Very heavy to travel with.

I dont need to carry more weight when diving but to travel its heavier than normal gear.
I think 2k is an okay price. I cant remember who is the distributor for Dive Rite in Malaysia. Maybe can get similar or cheaper price.

There should be different lift category wings (the doughnut) for this bcd model. Can ask and see.

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.
