takut mampus only when reach the island half dead zombie mode

I have dove Krabi using Kon-tiki as my guide. Visibility around 20-30m and Hin Daeng/Hin Muang or Shark point are top spot there. A bit far to travel but its worth the journey.

off topic: i have to search the meaning of "Ang Mohs" lol.

hey guys!

check this offer by berjaya tioman... http://www.berjayahotel.com/flyer/tioman_ticd_oct2011.htm

Seems cheap. Anyone can verify this is cheap?

Went to Tioman a few days before Raya. Viz was really bad. Not a good time to go. Maybe go mid season. Air Asia 0 Price anyone booked?

I'm trying to book to Banda Aceh but damn hard.

Dayang is a very small island. I think there's only 2 resorts there. Most of the people that go there go with their dive centers. Are you going on your own or you're looking for dive centers to go with?

I went to Dayang with SiputScuba. Around RM790 for 3D3N inclusive of meals, ferry, bunk bed 12 person per room accomodation and 7 boat dives. I know they do go to Dayang quite often.

Prepare for the 5 hours midnight boat ride to Dayang arriving there in the middle of the morning.

As miuk said, depends on individual.
I wear my full suit most of the time cause I not much fat to protect me from cold and I get sejuk very easily. However, at times, I also do dive with just a rash guard over my bikini.

One more reason I prefer full suit is because I got stung my jellyfishes before and it's not a fun thing to experience. Some corals may also look harmless but do give you a burning sensation andden a rash afterwards.

Most of the guy divers I know go in rashguard with boardshorts cause it's easier to wear I guess.
I know some fat divers just go in their boardshorts also got.

Dunno how it's like for girls, coz you traditionally pee while seated. I just let it go and enjoy the new-found warmth within my wetsuit
Overcoming the initial pressure takes some getting used to though.

However, I don't think it is something anyone can teach you to do. Imagine if a guy came up to you and asked you how to pee on land. How would you explain it? You just go la lol.

Wow, that triggerfish bite must have been quite an experience! I wouldn't want to experience one!
My sister got bitten by a triggerfish once, and it went thru her booties and her 3mm wetsuit at her heel there. It was when she was almost at the surface somemore. So she took her fin off and whack the fella send it flying back down into the ocean. Lol.
My bf almost had a near encounter with triggerfish during my recent trip to Redang too. It was trying to pick a fight with us but luckily we swam away quickly.

As for peeing, just pee I guess? I don't hold my bladder full. When I started diving few years ago, I tend to do that and it actually gave me quite bad and recurrent UTI. So my doctor advice me not to hold it in when my bladder is full.
Takes some time to not be so self concious and let it go underwater while diving but you'll get used to it. I find it easier when I'm horizontal and not standing.
I heard it's one way some divers keep themselves warm as well.

I've heard more disgusting stuff la. It seems there are ppl who feeling like pooping underwater then they just go behind a coral, remove their wetsuit and do their business there. 

Dive torch, try waiting for MIDE and see if they have any good dive torch on sale. That day I saw in the other diving forum about some China-made dive torch bought at Petalling Street, around RM80 or so only it seems. Might wanna give it a try.

220 can get a good LED torch already. Saves alot more in terms of battery and its brighter + white light.

Dont go for those normal bulb types, eats battery like sheet.

Just for comparison, I have a SL4 which is modded to use a Cree LED, 320 lumens per the LED spec. Uses 4x C size battery. From new till now have not changed the batteries, which is like already 2 years old with >10 dives and land use.

I have another 220 lumen LED torch which uses 3x AAA batteries. Can last around 3 dives before needs changing.

you can probably get a one for for around RM250 (and that would be good enough for most stuffs). i got a UK C4 which has 2 bulbs, and i got it like ages ago from hobi sports, which has now closed down. got it cheap at RM180. nowadays, they come out LED, and i think that's much better, although pricier. spend a little more and get a bigger torch, rather than those small ones.

hi divers, where are u all? out diving somewhere yea.. thats great!

am happy today, just bought tickets for Pulau Weh, hoorayyyy, for Feb. thank goodness Airasia still relatively cheap for those dates. cheerssss
