hi all, i m new in scuba diving but i am very interested. still not very sure how the test be done. where the theory test be held? register ourself with the dive centre in kl, then after the exam only do the final dive in the sea? or can we do all together at wherever island we dive?

where is the best among the following??
1 redang
2 perhentian
3 sipadan
4 tioman
5 langkawi

langkawi is not in my list actually.. but wonder why some say that langkawi is not bad.. i m more concern about redang or sipadan. but sipadan would be very costly, m i?

nutella, not so soon, may be next year aug, when r u going?

anyone interested to join with me the HOPE (help our penyu)?? they are offering volunteer programme and you can get the diving certificate at the same time.

ops..my bad.. i cant stay a float in water w/o any aid (life jacket). didnt have enough confident @ technique maybe.. i'm only comfort if water level below my neck/chin..

^yea July is peak season.
should be able to. the last time i went was in July as well and i was really lucky as they gave me permit to dive at sipadan for 4 days! i think usually one or two days is no problem.

Anyone can advise operator for OW course padi. I thinking of redang or phention but stil confuse~we may go 4 person. Or is it same price for both islands incl meal and accom i got quotation rm1.7 per person
