I am going if selected

Not enough dive log. ....

maybe you can just register and try your luck.. who knows..

thank god this thread is still alive!
where can i learn diving but not expensive?

of course PADI is a great spot to learn, but kinda expensive to me, seems all in RM(Hundred/Thousand).

Open water course normal rate is around RM1000. but usually not less than RM900.. any agency is good.. just prepare RM1.3k-RM1.5k for OWC+Transport to Island+Accommodation+Meals for 4D3N.

If selected ? I short of 8 dives. Do 8 dive in 3 days....Haha

Dammit. Recently broke it off with my dive buddy/partner.

Oh well, no harm trying.

Its an expensive hobby in my opinion. So if you want to take OW, please be prepared because you need more cash if you want to go dive holiday. Many people that I know stop diving after they take Open Water Course because they are not willing to spend for a dive holiday.

Hmm, expensive hobby indeed. I think the best for me is just stay in shallow water and do snorkeling.

you can try discovery scuba at any island, just to experience scuba diving. it around RM200-250 per dive. you don't need to be certified diver.

diving's not a cheap sport... but its worth every single penny, @wordtalks. the course fee sounds high but it includes your holiday getaway! and its fun fun fun all the way. and theurepeutic, good for the mind body and soul...

Guys, need help. Where the cheapest scuba shop to buy gears (BCD, regulators, fullsuit). Just surveyed at singapore can save up to 1k(c'mas discount). but regret didn't buy that time.

My Wish list :-
Scubapro MK25/S600T
Scubapro Litehawk
Scubapro Steamer 3mm

Check for promos and expo. Usually cheaper to buy during those time.

Or if you plan to get your gears overseas, was told Hong Kong is one of the cheapest place to get Scubapro products.

I am using Scubapro product for wetsuit and MK25/A700. I buy online from HK shop which turn out to be cheaper than Singapore even on Adex or year end sale. What is the price for MK25/S600T in SG on Xmas? May I know why you choose titanium?You don't intend to use nitrox later?

Putra, which online shop you bought from? I need to get a pair of Scubapro fins but no time to go HK.
They deliver to your house?

Yes, they deliver to my house using EMS (They know how to deny custom duty). If I am not mistaken 72 hours after my payment through credit card.

Are you using jet fin?

Ah ok. Thanks!

My Atomic splitfins broke edi after only 3 years or so. Thinking of getting Seawing Nova since I've tested a friend's one and found it very comfortable for me.

Yes, Seawing Nova rocks!! I have one currently. Diving Express selling the best price of seawing nova recently.

Edit : Mares X stream also great

Mares X Stream looks good! I like Seawing Nova's bungee strap la, easier to wear hehe.
But Mares X Stream got more colors.. ahhhh..

Nvm still got time to decide before my next dive trip haha. You said delivery time just around 72 hours after you made payment? That's fast.

Interested to do OWD. Not satisfy during snorkelling at pangkor last week. But honestly, I can't swim.. Haha luckily I'm snorkelling with life jacket. I'm ok with that. So any problem with me to take scuba certificate ?
I've read some of you also didn't know how to swim and manage to get ow cert. but some of dive center state on their website, "swim 100m", "snorkel 200m" Etc...
