used to be around rm9xx for scuba diver license. 3d2n in sipadan. back then, we're allowed to stay in the island.
rm15xx for advance scuba diver license. 4d3n.

instead of going for the rescue diver license, i am planning to sit for a pro diver license next year. someone from bubu resorts in kl quoted me a complete package to redang / perhentian for rm3xxx.

what do you guys think? worth it?

samurai, rm1500 for what type of course? open water diving?
can advice the location of shop offering this package?

Hi,

I have heard some ppl mentioned that when you are taking the course at the island resorts...you don't have much time to relax the 3d2n holiday. All you do is prep for the dive course.

Can one take the course at a confined/controlled area (ie pool) before heading to open sea for the actual dive?

hye. i dunno whether this is the right place to post. but i need help right now. still left quota for 4 people to train under PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) for their openwater and advanced scuba diving course for 5 days 4 nights at Tioman Island.

scheduled next week and basically the price you get here is the cheapest u can get anywhere. the trainer is also a underwater photographer and videographer with lots of experience in various fields. u will be a certified diver and can go scuba diving anywhere with the license u acquire from this course.

the cost will be RM3000 per head inclusive of ferry ride to and fro mersing jetty to tioman, homestay at the chalet along the coast, regular meals, deepdive equipment rentals; regulators and oxygen tank (however u need to priorly purchase your own wetsuit,fins and mask), and the sufficient number of dives to qualify you to the advanced course (u'll be given the manual and logbook for the assessment).

prior to the event, u need to deposit rm400 and i will give u the manual firsthand. that's only after the quota of 4 people is fulfilled. if u may have doubt about me, u may ask vikingw2k and many other forummers and mods who knows me. i cant be bothered to con u as i have reputations to keep.

so, list down your names in this thread and keep it clean from price police or morale police whatsoever. my goal is simple, just have fun while learning!

along with me is another girl friend of mine, so if there are girls who is interested to join, can accompany her too.

about transportation from KL to mersing, it's either we go by bus or we share the cost of petrol and toll from here to and fro ( we will go with SSangYong Rexton, so dont worry about the bootspace)

leave your names here and PM me about the prior deposits.

1.
2.
3.
4.

i will give discount rm100 to those who can help me complete the quota.

dude. this is until advanced course. please read properly before making a comment. i'm aware of other pricing. for the rm850 person u only complete a portion at confined space and the rest at island and it doesnt include alot other facilities.

to qualify for the advanced openwater u need to spend time at the island and complete a number of dives. please bear in mind, every dive would cost u alot in actual.

jgn cakap ni scuba jeff? hahahaha....

cehhh.. apsal murah sangat course ko ni??? bagi makan abuk kayu ke? hahaha.. ada place utk 2 orang tak? 1 girl 1 boy?

woooohhh.. do they accept only two of us? it's under PADI or NAUI? certified or not? next week got schedule?

no hidden cost right? what do i need to buy prior to the course? just wetsuit, mask and fin right? u'll provide the other equipment right?

MENARIK!!! 

btw, after 10% discount, how much is the cost for fin, mask and wetsuit for man and woman? if cheaper i buy there la.
