yupp SDI.. i think i'll take ow course with them.

Is there any good place to dive to go for weekend trip from KL?

I'd like to dive for 2 days in weekend, and now are living in KL. from what i read is we can go to pulau redang, lang tengah, or perhentian island. like going by night bus and then ferry to the island, is it feasible?

and which island is the best site to dive?

tioman. Drive to mersing (about 4 hrs) then take the ferry over.

I dont have car, is there overnight bus to go to Mersing?

So tioman is much better for diving compared to redang or perhentian?

Guys, wana ask, can we go discover scuba diving less than 24 hours after my flight?

for example, I landed on 6.30pm on 1st March 2013, can i go discover scuba diving on 2nd march (before 6.30pm)??

I read that after dive, must wait 24 hours before the flight...how about flight before dive?

Sure can. No rules or safety precautions on that. But you have to fly back after 3rd March 6.30PM.

I rate Redang>Perhentian>Tenggol>Tioman>Lang Tengah.

wee wee. good

i am going discover scuba diving for my sabah trip liao, if i love it, then i bet i will go learn diving lolx!

ok thanks..

now im a bit confused where to go hehehe its either redang or perhentian or tioman then.. but i heard in redang the corals are beginning to fade?

You are most welcome to the community.

Its all about the same on my opinion. Redang and Perhentian. But if you love marine life, Redang better. Coral, perhentian better but overall I rate Redang first.

You mean I can drive to lombok?

ps: the lombok i know is in indonesia, so you need to fly there. basically you can only dive 2 times for only a day, 24hour rest before flight, then go back home. And its expensive to go there only for a weekend dive

i think you got me wrong when i mentioned Tioman and Lombok, that was meant for my own trip coming april may and not referring to you

oopss sorry, my bad.. thought u mention that the best place for diving in april is tioman, and may in lombok

Anybody know whether Tioman or Perhentian had already open for diving? planning to go this early March.

i was told by one of the operators, by right should be open alrdy but water clarity and waves still can be a let down, season starts in mid April and bookings are filling up

Tioman is most KL divers choice for a weekend getaway.
You can also try out pulau Sembilan. Nearer than Tioman but visibility not so good. I've done day trip to Pulau Sembilan before but very tiring.
