At MIDE the seaventure was on offer 5d4n RM1440.. haha I just booked coz it seemed really interesting.

Anyhow, whats SWV?


Also another thing. I bought a mask at MIDE. Now I am wondering whether there is a place to change the lens to powered lens. Anyone know?

SWV = Sipadan Water Village

Most dive shops provide it.

you can go to scuba dynamics at Sri hartamas http://www.scubadynamics.com.my

Just come from Perhentian Island, with 4 dives ....2 Dives at Marine Park , 1 Dive at Tokong Laut (Depth : 24M ) and 1 Dive at D`Lagoon Depth : 10-13M ) ...visibility around 70-80% .

Tokong Laut ,highly recommended among the best dives site at Perhentian Island.

D`Lagoon - Turtle , 2 big stingray

For this 2 site,i spent only RM120.00 ,its mean 1 Fun dive only RM60 per dive without gears

100% working perfect with all my gears. Geo 2 lots of things to study,i try to compare with Suunto D4,well D4 much more better rather Geo2 ,in terms of variety mode and easy to use. Well I`not regret using Geo 2, take time to study.Now thinking to spend for G12 Canon Camera with housing ..RM2,500.00

Thinking to spend this year for Perhentian only,maybe other years to Redang and Sipadan.

How many people interested to join Low Yat Divers Group ? ..maybe i can give discount price..

Heres the part Seaventures tend to leave out, the currents there can be very 'kau'. So the window period for the dives at the rig is very limited only. Anyway do remember at Mabul the sun sets around 6.

The attractive part about them to me is that they're willing to do 5 dives sipadan (for extra $), so can maximize the permits.

well, the experience of living on an oil rig is also something to be appreciated as well

How many times do you guys go diving in a year? I am thinking about planning some other trips but I am afraid its too much for a noob like me.

For me short trips about 4-5/year while long trips always 2-3.

If I can afford I want to dive everyday That's why I became a DI. Problem is for KLites, it's too expensive to be able to even dive twice a month. Dive sites are far and good dive sites are even more remote, making journey there even harder and longer time to reach. If you say ayou are noob, then the more dives the better for you. Off course as many times as you can afford lah without disrupting your carreer.

haha, who dont want to live next to a nice beach whereby you can come home and tell your wife, 'honey, i keluar dive a bit before we eat dinner ya?'

i dive probably twice a year

Well,For me..i target around 20-30 per year.. since i got new gear..well going crazy ma

wow that alot...

For me I try my best to find time for 2-3 short 3D2N trips and a long one week trip.
No amount is too much for a beginner, more dives mean more practice, mean you will be better with all those dives!

Would love to live on a beach and go diving almost everyday.

im going for my 2nd dive trip at tioman on coming 22-25 July. Mayb i'll try to have 2 3D2N trip per year:) the rest just practise in pool.

What do you normally do when diving in pool? I find it quite pointless diving in pools. Lol.
So now when me and my bf go diving in pools, we tend to be taking lots of photos underwater.

hehe u r experienced diver..im newbie. i find it usefull to dive in pool to practise my buoyancy skill

i have a noob question regarding pool diving..
i just bought a shortie wetsuit and i want to try it out first at the pool.. do i wet the wetsuit first before wearing it?
my friend told me it is so we dont get rashes..

TQ.

i normally will wet my wetsuit 1st before wearing it. i find it easier t wear when it wet:)
i think it got nothing to do with rashes..its jus for easy wearing.

Whether the wetsuit is new or old or rented, it's usually easier to wet it (and yourself) first to make wearing it easier.

Don't know about the rashes though. Does he mean washing it before wearing?

nope.. its not washing.. just wetting the inner part abit for easy wear and avoiding rashes..

thanks for the inputs.. guess i dont have to wet it as its not that hard for me to wear it..
