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..

i dont know to swim.. can i take diving course?

Interested to do OWD. Not satisfy during snorkelling at pangkor last week. But honestly, I can't swim.. Haha luckily I'm snorkelling with life jacket. I'm ok with that. So any problem with me to take scuba certificate ?
I've read some of you also didn't know how to swim and manage to get ow cert. but some of dive center state on their website, "swim 100m", "snorkel 200m" Etc...

I had tried to learn how to swim. But still can't swim without aid to float/take breath during swim. So usually I'll swim with just 1 breath only.
My gf interested too, but she also can't swim. Hahaa.. Luckily both of us comfort in the water but of course with life jacket.

Hahaa that one I never tried.. Hahaa

Hurmm.. Ok.. I'll ask around 1st.. Any recommendation? I'm from Shah Alam.. Maybe want to start on march or April..
it is worth to go to ADEX only to buy fin, mask,snorkel and wetsuit?

Interested to go to ADEX coz my hometown at JB. almost every month I go jalan2 at sg..

Munkey.. Which dive center u suggest to me?

off topic here..
is it nice to go to tioman this month? plan to take 1week leave on CNY and go to tioman..

Anyone can share with me their UW camera setup? Want to change my dslr to smaller camera easy to bring anywhere .. Also UW casing for dslr was too expensive hehe..

Owh. Ok tq munkey.. My initial plan was to change to smaller camera, easier to carry to everywhere. But hey.. Why not kill 2 bird with 1 stone? Hehee

can share how much total cost? especially housing and strobe set.
im targeting mirrorless camera because it's compact.. hehee



hehee i also do some research regarding action camera. got few model/brand sold here at LYN.. but in the end i think it's not my favor coz i need 1 camera can for multipurpose... hhhehe.. take picture during vacation, event, etc..

Owh..tq Putra..

Padi vs SSI which OnE better? AFAIK padi got 5x confine water + 4x open water.. But SSI only got 4x dive (not sure whether confine/open water). But SSI was cheaper than padi rite? I got offer rm1.1k including accommodation, meal and transport..

Can somebody give pointer to me..whether need to wait for mide or just take OW course now? Coz I heard price for diving course at mide didn't get much discount. Only worth if want to buy equipment. Is it rite?

Hahaa.. Ok noted..
Got 2 offer
SSI for rm1.1k and Padi for rm1.5k.. Including 3d2n accommodation, transport and meal..
Padi got total 9dive.. SSI 4dive only..
