not easy also. got technique wan, it's not like just simply dive down with camera.
like for example, how to land on sea bed without disturbing the sand blablablabla. and when you hold camera stuff with 2 hands, how do you go about navigating in the water?
RM 2k for camera and housing. hrmm. most people will probably go for a few dive trips before thinking about getting camera to go even though they may really want to. and it's not like diving trips don't cost.
i plan to dive soon but not with camera la. that one later.
Yeah.. I agree its not easy... Dats y im reading Underwater photography stuff like mad now..

Btw, are you a diver?
Yup, I could say not all diver has DC. But, we all are saying, most of them.
Anyway, IMO, diving is really expensive hobbies. Yes diving is costly. If you can afford diving, I guess you can afford a camera+casing. If you don't want bring down camera, it is fine. I can see always the head of diver that leading the diving trip always bring camera and will burn for you guys. Once again, don't again say not necessary
Gonna b an official diver in 2 months time... Done like about 5 dives and totally got addicted to it.. Haha... Dive instructor says there is no prob 4 me to get the licence.. Keke.. Except mayb buoyancy prob but its gettin better... Hehe

Diving is indeed expensive. My colleague just came back from Layang-layang last week, he spent about RM4k. That's the price he paid as an organizer. He brought 6 people (if not mistaken) and they paid more than that. It's a 7day trip.
Hoho.. Layang2 is paradise leh...
Too bad im still a student cant afford that price.... Huhu..

me? would be diver.
aiyah nowadays most ppl have DC already la.
just for divers, depends la.
not everyone wants to increase cost, some people they just like to go dive without hassle of camera. dive trips about RM 600 - 700 range for a few days also got mah.
but seriously la after diving, who wouldn't want to bring DC underwater la.
i know i would. just that for about RM 2k, i have a choice to get a new DC + housing or go for diver certification. tough choice.
Tough choice but i probably get the certificate first...If i have to make a choice la..
QUOTE(Joshua_0718 @ May 21 2007, 12:28 AM)
Huh? Tough choice? Of course the Open Water license lar. Without that, no point buying camera.
For the OW, total cost will be around RM1.5k
After getting the license, then only think twice whether you need a camera a not.
Yup, around RM700 at redang for 4 days 3 night. 1 day dive 5-6 times, worth diving actually.
QUOTE(goldfries @ May 21 2007, 10:41 AM)
no leh. see on my side RM 2k can get a lot of camera stuff - including housing if needed.
you don't need that RM 1.5k license to dive mah, just pay RM 600 -700 they can bring you to dive already.
QUOTE(Joshua_0718 @ May 21 2007, 12:29 PM)
Yeah, RM2k can get a lot of camera stuff.. Including a 4GB or 8GB memory card
Erm.... I very unclear the RM600-RM700 is how they bring you to dive. Is that fun diving where will have instructor bring you diving? That diving isn't deep 1.
Anyway, let me figure out the course lar. Don't know got price change a not. This is according to last month price. And of course, we are OT
Open Water:
Course = RM800
Examination for diving, go to redang, pangkor or whatever, 4 days 3 night = RM700
Total = RM1500
Huhu... Dat wont b a prob coz my dad works at Laguna Redang so..
Accomodation = free
Food = free
Diving OW course = staff price
