I guess you're right about being confidence in the water first..
It would be fine if I just learn by myself with the help of friends right?

Yes. As long as you able to swim and comfortable with waters and deep blue water.
Learn with who or take swimming class is unnecessary but if u enjoy swimming, y not ... it sharpen and enhance your swimming skills further.

Not necessary to know swimming, as long as you don't get panic in water.
If you sign up for PADI, PADI never required you to know swimming. Unless you go for Dive Master course.

Your statement is incorrect.
U need to know some adequate swimming skills.

Decent slowly to the wreck deck around 30m if I'm not wrong..then going down enter the wreck jalan2 see skull or what ever.. That time I manage to touch the sand at the bottom of wreck around 60m. Vis was superb at this dive site.

Bottom time around only 20min then slowly go up to do Deco stop at 28m, 20m 15m 10m 5m 3m..if I'm not wrong..haha lupa d..just follow your dive comp..more longer u bottom time then more longer your do Deco stop.. Deco Stop = Boring gila 😂

Total dive time around 71min
*
Bottom time 20 mins at 60m? ... tats very long wey... u using normal gas right? not trimix or something!?

Want to ask the nearest dive site from kl?
Maybe can have a day trip?

Not sure these was up or not!?
http://english.astroawani.com/business-new...e-malacca-58730

Tried performed surveillance dive around Klebang, Melaka. Vis bad, but marine life quite surprised me probably due to untouched area beside fishing. Manage to spot reef sharks. Plenty of shipwrecks, antiques and canon ball blink.gif lies beneath the bottom of the sea. Depth was around 17m only.

Tank n compressor really BYO. Alternatively, u can go nearby bomba and get it pump. However, Professional License is required.

On another hand, if u r advanced diver and above. U can actually go join a trip to dive in Melaka straits, its a LOB trip. Again, Vis is nothing great but can be fine vis. Deep dive mostly. U definitely will spots some Manta Rays, some pelagic species. But the spot is smack right in d middle of Melaka straits. Departure from Lumut. quite a heavy traffic... Trip very limited. Heads up over the Malaysia Dive Group in FB. Once awhile seen them posted such trip there.

salute 71min!!! at 60meter

wah! 71min at 60m = can GG anytime with normal gas...

Is 20min at 60m then slowly ascend as per his description... multilevel diving...

Beyond 40m should consider Tec Dive edy with diff kind of gas. Again, pls dive safe. Dive beyond the limit or your training are putting yourself in danger.

hmm...link for you. I did not finish watching the video since I'm at work...skipping through I see not just one guy...few others carrying extra tank too...while in comments says those who didn't has it staged on ascent line. I guess you simply need more air for the dive.

I generally dislike deep dive. But for Sophie... done once or twice. Cukup.

I was bringing extra tank while I dive Sophie. For backup and emergency.
My guide as well. They also bring extra tank too. Short bottom time and longer time to ascend.

The only thing tat couldn't help much is the many of our dive comp, suunto especially. Keep beeping. Annoying betul.

QUOTE(ghostshell @ Sep 6 2017, 03:53 AM)
Anyone dive at nha trang Vietnam before this?
*
Simply Overrated n Overfishing. Ain't cheap too.
Went even to Whale Island... well, common stuff. couple of sharks... But whale really no... They even invited me to go again with great discount. But no le... water bit milky. Vis so so. Some time are good. Dive couple of spots... bout 6 but havent explore all yet. Unpredictable currents.

Quite a boat traffic. Some of boats just ramp thru even smb deployed - a big one somemore.

Maybe in near future, I'll go again and give it another chance and another try. Hope it get better. *finger crossed*

How big is your O ring size? I think i have quite a few ... hahaha... not sure your size match or not... let me know the diameter...
CR2450 can easily get in lzd. Grease every dive shop pun ada...
