Correct me if I am wrong here, but the reason the diving suit is designed that way was to retain/or insulate body heat and also to make you streamlined in the water so as not to exert yourself. But I've seen and know people who dont use the dive suit in tropical waters because its not necessary to do so as the water isnt that cold. Furthermore a lot of guys here just wear board shorts so mayb that will help if she wear shorts and tights to cover up entirely and mayb a bandana too together to replace the tudung as most girls i know wear it to help keep the hair out of their face when they have to remove their mask underwater and such. I know its not much but these are the options I know.. Mayb someone else can also help i was thinking about this too last time.

Added on October 18, 2011, 12:56 amGuys, if thailand right, know where or anyone have contact there to approach? If its snorkelling tours i'm fine but these things, I want to get a reputable one with proper equipment and a dive operator who doesnt put safety second.

Hi Guys,

When does the season officially open in Semenanjung? Is it advisable to go just when the season opens?

Awh man.. Then maybe I should wait till mid march or early april or would that still be the same?

Yeah.. Darn.. There I was thinking I cld use the holidays early next year.. I guess i have to take leave.

Guys is it possible to arrange a dive trip around 600 for 2 days of dives in Semenanjung with accomodation?

Sounds good. I am suddenly free to go for a dive and i havent really saved up. So i have about that much or a bit more to spend for a dive. I'm not sure about flying though. Its kinda expensive for something last minute.

Thanks.

Guys! I love seeing pics of the underwater world and want to take some for myself, I am planning to get my own camera and casing for this upcoming dive. But I just got my OWD license. Do you think its wise to do so or will it be difficult for me? I wana capture some memories of my own..

Anyone want to go to Perhentian with me? I'm going 1st -3rd.. I've made reservation only but havent bought tickets. Its starting to get a bit expensive so i'm wondering if anyone wants to carpool?

I just came back from diving in perhentian over the weekend. I am very new it was my 5th -7th dive. Anyhow, I bought my own fin last year at MIDE and i am wondering whether i bought one thats too big causing difficulty in my finning. How do i tell? Cause i feel like i am struggling sometimes or could it be that i am too new to using the fins?

I am using the cressi frog plus fin with booties. I find it kinda weird to fin around.. I am just not sure whether its wrong technique or what.. I mean it propels me along nicely but sometimes i feel like 'unnatural' to use it. I've used rentals for snorkelling trips and they feel fine.. could it be wrong fin? and being very new.. i kinda panic with every thing.. so this one currently weighs on my mind.

hahaha i know.. but a lot of things can go wrong. And I am afraid of heights so going down meters upon meters scares me like hell.. I think i consume too much air going down coz i tend to jerk thinking i'm free falling every time..

Hey guys.. Sudden approval by boss for leave next mth. Any recommendations for dive centres or diving places in bali?

Hmmm I am very new and I dont think i can go to most dive sites.. but if 1 day only where should i go?

Cool. Thanks everyone.. I am staying away from Nusa Penida and I am going to Tulamben to see the USS something wreck. I guess its a short dive trip.

Anyhow, I want to know whats considered experienced enough for those sort of currents to see mola2 though? Anyone have an idea?

Guys, I went to perhentian last time and rented a camera to take pics during my dive and found it fun. Now I have a G12 and wondering whether to buy my own underwater housing or just keep on renting? And if i have to buy, is the Canon underwater housing ok? Some dont recommend it coz they say it tends to crack easily and recommends the ikelite.. But i think the ikelite is too expensive... Any recommendations or rentals from kl where i can just rent and bring 1 camera during the whole trip and not let anyone else burn the pics for me..?

Hmm.. I am worried that the g12 will flood and it only takes one flood to ruin it entirely and I love that camera. And yeah a lot of people i managed to talk to are not letting anyone touch their sets too.


Any idea what the price is for ikelite? I got about 1.8k..

Ok. I think i'll wait too... Hmmm anyone know how much scubasymphony is selling and if any of u guys can assist nego it cheaper?

MIDE on Sunday! Looking for packages.. haha..
