Hi,

Yes, 3D2N is not enough,even if its 4D3N you will need to sacrificed your midnight for studying/quiz . Normally you have to do 5 Confined Water Dives & 4 Open Water Dives and also 5 Sessions of Knowledge Development (which you need to study)...

And of course, you can do your course at pool, but you still have to go for 4 open water certification dive trip. By doing your course at a confined pool,  you can save a lot of times and worries...So during your open water dive, you can already get used to it...
P/S : Most of the dive master would recommend that you take your license in confined pool. So that before you go for your open water trip, they would already analyst your problem/mistaken and could correct you before trip, and also save your time doing everything in 4 days... My advise is, the same 

if ur resort got dive centre contact there mayb?sometimes they offer SDI license so don have to travel here n there and 850~950 is around market price

very important reminder for those planning to do the Open Water Diver course. There is a minimum of 18 hours before you can fly after your last dive. But i recommend 24 hours
So please plan your schedule accordingly.

Hi all,

Im going to take the PADI diving license (Open Water) next Saturday at Kota Kinabalu. I have received its training materials and very nervous on the theory examination.
For those who have sat for the theory exam, was it very hard?
Any tips or sample questions?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Lisa

what size is your feet?
a GENERAL guideline is as follows:

S = Size 4 to 6
M = Size 7 to 9
L = Size 10 to 12

if you are anywhere above and below those range you'll need those odd sized fins and i would advice you against buying 2nd hand fins.
btw how much is cheap anyway?
fins are very very subjective. get the right one you'll enjoy the dive, get the wrong one you'll curse the day you bought it.
my advice is get feedback on the model from diver you know. best yet beg, borrow or steal and then try it out before deciding.

it is risky without the booty...
i am using M but my size is 9, fits me perfectly but i do know some people who are size 7 who feels my fins are a bit loose. I am using the volo btw.
anyway hobi sports is clearing their stocks cause their distributorship of mares products will end this month.
you can still purchase it from rainbow runner next month.
plus MIDE is just next week. I am sure there will be some deals then.

Don't rush to a decision. Take your time

yeah dun rush to buy yr gear. take your time to explore around and check whats in the market. unless you are the shopping freak who likes to change ur gear every year. hehehe...

MIDE is around the corner, so check out the products on offer la. who knows u find something interesting.

Hello everyone out there!

I have a small group of friends about 3 people. Would like to take diving license at Redang. Any suggestion where is reasonable at Redang?? Pm me for details. tq so much.
Btw, I help pass message for a friend. Anyone interested in taking up diving lessons at Pulau Tenggol? PM me.

It includes 1 theory class, followed by a dive trip at Pulau Tenggol, 2 shore dives, & 4 boat dives. 3 days 2 nights. Accommodation and food included. Certificate upon completion.

Price can be negotiable depending on how many people going. For more details, PM me and let me know what details you're asking, tq

I guess I'll go with semi-strict instructors. At least I know where I went wrong underwater.

Mabul / Sipadan 4 days / 3 nights = RM1,490 ( target date 25-28 Dec 2009 )
