yes, it is not cheap, but i think one must at least experience once in his lifetime.. so, 1 yr to save money, should be enough by next yr. ;-)
most probably will choose redang, i met few friends from kampung redang since my last visit.. |

munkeyflo, thanks a lot for ur info.. can u let me know any dive centre around kl?
skin dive in redang before, not that bad.. i remembered 3 yrs back, i went snorkelling at perhentian, many dead corals... not really fun.. pulau lima at redang is nice.. kimseng, i will certainly do it in Malaysia.. though we dont have the best ocean, but Malaysia's ocean can be one of the top... |

no doubt diving is the most wonderful hobby but dangerous, i've came across a lot of stories about divers. share some other experiences with those dangerous fish, shark or whatever incident during diving...
etigge, turtles and lobsters!!! cool... ya, how much it costs?? |

QUOTE(nutella @ Nov 19 2009, 07:41 PM) After reading the posts, i guess i will be doing the theory part on land, and head to redang or perhentian for the cert. Is 3D2N enough? I will be doing it before July, either Mar, Apr or Jun, whenever cheaper Yes, i will do the theory test on land first. I thought the price is the same no matter which month u go. I need to prepare for my exam in July, otherwise we can organize to go together....   |

QUOTE(akRia @ Dec 2 2009, 01:46 PM) i doubt you can get free license by observing sea turtle or clean the environment. it needs rental for gear, registration fee, and boat rental fee to conduct, if a organisation can have such money, they might as well just use the money to use it on better side? as for the dive centre owner, i don't see a reason they want to spend their time and equipment for free. its not 2hrs thing to conduct/rent a gear out, its at least 4days at minimum..furthermore, most the time non-diver volunteer, they do some beach cleaning, observe sea turtle or gather tourist's signature..i never see them actually gear up... It is not free. The volunteer programme itself cost RM940. Add another RM1050, you can get the PADI.the last time i heard was from SOS/releigh if not mistaken, you have to gather donation of 3k in order to participate in sabah. and that also i didn't heard the participant get free license at the end. |

the different is you may experience the whole process of sea turtles lay eggs. provided you love volunteer job and sea turtles, otherwise, it is not a good choice. it is better to go for dive centre.
