They don't have much units available. Hopefully still got rooms. If not, I will check with them if they have rooms for September 14-16.

Tuna Bay cheapest is RM320 per night for triple room, RM250 per night for twin room. Breakfast included. So it's about RM220 cheapest for 2 nights for the rooms. Still quite okay if use own equipment, around RM545 if doing 5 dives.
Won't be able to do so many dives since only 3D2N.  |

QUOTE(Putraskyline @ Mar 4 2013, 03:48 PM) Arrival day 2 dives, 2nd day 5 dives = 7 dives How big only they consider as group? 7 dives max I guess. Can't do 15 dives.   Going to sell my S95 with Canon Housing. Around 1.5 years old. Everything still in good condition. It has 2 batteries, not the original one as original one spoil edi, but 2 good compatible batteries bought less than half a year ago. Can last for few dives, even with recording video. Will throw in one SD card too. PM me if interested. Edit: My Canon G9 with Canon Housing also available if anyone interested. Maybe I should start renting out my cameras instead.  |

QUOTE(numblink @ Mar 4 2013, 10:18 PM) So when is the date? September? May?? I'll try to book for May first. It's public holiday + school holiday, and not very much in advance so have to see whether they got rooms available or not. Most of the hotels open for reservations since December last year.  Will try to book either Mama's, Abdul's or Tunabay. 1. imran85 (1 pax) 2. munkeyflo (2 pax) 3. b5n111 (1 pax) - confirm upon date s finalised 4. numblink (1 pax) - if date ngam 5. tantalus (1 pax) 6. EvanSoon (1 pax) I think need to get 3-4 rooms. Abdul's got only 3 fan rooms. Mama's has 20 fan rooms. b5n111, can book aircond room if got anyone willing to share with you. |

QUOTE(b5n111 @ Mar 5 2013, 12:41 AM) which day of May that we r looking at? Trying to get 24-26th May. If other weekends, some of us might to take leave or skip classes. If we choose Abdul over Mama, 3 fan room + 1 Garden Std AC room? Then again, 24-26th May is the start of school holidays. Yea, if we go with Abdul, some of us may need to pay more for AC room. |

Called Abdul Chalet, told me to wait for response to my email. Sent email to them yesterday already.
Called Mama's Chalet, told me to call their office but called few times since this morning, kept on number busy. Called Tunabay, told me they don't sell rooms only because it's school holiday. Even not school holiday also they sell rooms only to smaller group like 2 or 4.  |

QUOTE(EvanSoon @ Mar 5 2013, 12:31 PM) I cant make it on sept. going simpadan if the war there ended. Was trying to get Tunabay that side those hotels, cause there more restaurants and more happening also. Try arwana? Although its sort of the other side of the island.. Arwana has some pretty bad reviews eh. The only thing I see that ppl compliment is that it has a big swimming pool. Which makes no point for us. Lol. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g3...Terengganu.html I'll try to check with Coral View first. |

QUOTE(tantalus @ Mar 5 2013, 01:55 PM) Lol, it's not possible to have 5 people in the room Good idea. 3 double/twin room sounds better. what i said is take 1 of each room: So 2 double/twin room: 1 for munkeyflo, 1 for 2person (out of 5) and 1 deluxe hill : 1 for 3 person (out of 5) But for redundancy, I think it's better to book 3 double/twin room, then later to add another extra mattress for 1 room. (in case someone cancel) |

QUOTE(tsunade @ Mar 5 2013, 02:23 PM) guys, I always have problem equalizing. especially the first dive. usually due to sinus problem. I carry Clarinase with me for all my dive trips. Pop one in the morning and maybe another one after lunch if sinus is bad. It helps A LOT! Best solution. anyone else facing similar problem? any remedy or solution to it?If you don't want pills or nasal spray, then go slow. Take your time to equalize. Most important is to make sure you do not feel pain. Don't force it, the last thing you want is a ear infection/injury. I was told to tilt your head to the side so the block ear face upwards, then try to equalize again. |

QUOTE(tsunade @ Mar 5 2013, 02:58 PM) hmm... clarinase, good idea. will give that a try. thanks munkeyflo! If you've not taken clarinase before, better check with your doctor first. Otherwise, see what other meds your doc can recommend. My ENT used to prescribe nasal spray for me, but I find it very uncomfortable to use, so didn't continue. And it expires after a few years since I can't finish using the whole bottle after opening. Make sure the meds you plan to take doesn't make you drowsy. |
