not sure on who is azman besar or kecil.
but he is definately not a divemaster....
he has been a course director since 2003 if i remember correctly.

Capture this video over the weekend. We dived at Sandy Bottom, where there was 2 Vietnamese wrecks.

Dive site was about 20m below the surface. The Wreck itself is about 8m high!

Coral Garden @ Pulau Payar
viz = between 10m - 15m

Happy diving to all!

Perhentian

Bubbles DC - Eric & Ronnie, always a homely place to chill and relax

Tioman
TRD - Reno's place is always welcoming. Especially when he brings out the tsing tao
B&J - ben / mark / martin - strict but friendly, german instructors but if u r planning to do techie, they r the best around

Merang / Bidong Island
Sea Monkey - Arnold / Macha - one of most upmarket/lavish place to stay for diving (sutra beach resort), especially for morning breakfast

hi guys... wana join this thread i m having my PADI course now.. hehe

hw much for diving course? whr to find instructor? in PJ o KL area..

must know hw swim first?

Hi, the course itself is around RM900 to RM950. exclude transportation , accommodation and meal of the island trip.

there are 2 type of teaching method:
1. half at swimming pool (learn all skills), then go to the sea and dive
2. learn and dive at the sea

I personally prefer 2nd choice. if you are working or unable to take long leave then option 1 is prefered.


some people able to learn without knowing to swim. The most important is do you feel comfort in the water or afraid? Did snorkelling b4? do u afraid?
swimming is an advantage when you are on the water surface, you need to swim to boat or swim to someone.. etc.. There are also ppl learn swimming after acquired diving license.

hi, bump into this post...i'm an open diver and wanna know is there any site where divers just get together for a diving trip over the weekend/holidays? my last dive was many yrs back...haha

Hi, if you able to read chinese then recommend to go this forum

Or you can just go to any dive shops to join their trips. You'll meet lots of new divers through that too.

Anyone know how much it costs for the "Discover Scuba dive" session in Flora Bay Resort, Pulau Perhentian?

not sure, you can call to ask.
but the price probably between 150 - 250, depend on location,
