Added on July 10, 2012, 10:15 pmI took OWD and AOW with Quiver. They are good and strict but I don't like the service and its environment. I took other license with 3 more DC at other island so I can compare well. If you go for fun diving at Quiver, I don't recommend. Service at Long Beach Quiver are better than Coral Bay.

back inflates.. i mainly wanna go for comfort + lighter weight if possible (not super light like the zuma).. dun plan to get donuts yet.. looks too techie i dun like ..

aqualung dimension i3, zeagles..duno what else to choose from.. actually like the wicked range from zeagle.. stands out from the others

My experience, back inflate just 20% better than normal BCD. Wing type 80% better in term of streamlined in the water. I go this way Normal>Back>Wings, but I regret I didnt do Normal>Wings.

Big Wing = Techie but if you get single tank wing like Dive Rite or Oxycheq, you didn't notice you are wearing any floatation device at all.

oic. coz for now i havent got myself any BCD yet.. wanna buy one la but mahal.. tot of getting a good back inflate that will last for years.. wings, maybe when im richer

not forgetting, regs and div com aso tarak.. there aso another 3-4k already.. i see the zeagle scout in US is only 300+-.. prolly check size here, and ship from US...

Okay then, slowly buy 1 by 1 Make sure invest extra on Regs

Mind to share why u don't line their service and environment (other that strict) ? I will take my OWD there

Haha....I don't want to comment on that part. Its enough if I said they are less friendly and money orientated business. If you ask me to come back and take another certificate, I would say no. Its true that they got many certificate or trophy from Padi, and they follow the rules strictly.

P/s : If you certified from Quiver, you will feel easy later

i would never come back to quiver coral bay after my trip last april...

What happen bro?

I was supposed to finish my open water course today in simons town, near capetown, south africa but there some huge wind coming in so the boat dive is postponed to friday. If it is still the same, then my final 2 dive will only be shore dives too.

Yesterday's first 2 dives wasnt really good. Viz is pretty bad and alot of surge.. then the people in front of me saw a bird diving into water to catch fish and the people behind me saw a seal following us. Besides starfishes and sea urchins and some fish i didn see anything too interesting. Maybe the decision to do diving course somewhere else is not really fruitful.

Zeagle scout less than 1k la I saw at Rainbow runners booth going for 9xx

Added on July 11, 2012, 4:41 pmAny particular reason for choosing those regs? Bear in mind, apeks and atomics servicing cost is quite high

ah? mide they were selling at 9xx?? aiyo.. didnt manage to go to their booth.. too many people!

anyways i emailed them, its going at 11xx now.. still so very tempting!

Added on July 12, 2012, 2:43 amprefer the lighter stuff, and dont think i'll be going <40m, performance for the flight should be alright i guess?

how much will servicing cost? i read that atomics requires servicing once every 2 years, or after duno how many dives.. which is still acceptable i for me.. not too sure about flight... any clue u have?

RM1.8k is a published price before discount when I see it at their shop 2 weeks before MIDE

My Apeks TX costs me around 400 for a full rebuild, Scubapro Mk25 around rm500. I would assume it'll be in the same range.

Those like Aqualung Titan will be much cheaper.

My scubapro MK25/A700 only RM193.70 for servicing. I do it at Sealantis.

haih...long long story their serivce sucks! but i do agree that they are quite strict for the courses

Mine was a rebuild

Too hardcore already (actually i bought it secondhand, off ebay, from an instructor in Hawaii). Almost everything changed except the piston (which might need changing soon).

MK25/S600 with Aqualung octo.

Lobster Wall, Mabul. Taken with S95.
No chio camera to snap awesome macro pics.

Paid around RM19xx for 5D4N, matta fair price, Borneo Divers, unlimited house reef dive (including sunset and night dives) as usual, 50% off equipment rental and 1st boat night dive, also included 1 day permit fee to Sipadan. It's my 2nd stay with them and I quite like their service.

Didn't see any pygmy seahorse at Seaventures. Lots of nudibranches and ribbon eel there though.
