Added on October 25, 2010, 10:20 amoh and another thing, is it possible that I have everyone's MSN? pretty sure it's better that we discuss this in a chatroom rather than a forum. smile.gif I'll start the ball rolling. Ladies are most welcomed to add me. wink.gif

Nemo, your msn?

lol... we've mentioned optional scuba earlier smile.gif there are 2 great shipwrecks worth toured.. 1 sank during WW2 rclxms.gif munkeyflo & myself are shipwrecks geek !! tongue.gif .... though, needs Advanced OW (or equivalent) as it lies down at 28M depth

wookp, NAUI is good.... emphasize more on quality.... rather than PADI, very commercialized

PM u on my MSN ....

Munkey,
I thought you wanted to go ahead and buy? Anyway, some of my friends already started to buy.
Shopping in BKK? Nah, nothing much to shop la. I rarely buy clothes. It's the ladies that want to go crazy shopping in BKK.
*
lol... ya it was munkeyflo who jacked-up the AA flight booking tongue.gif .. moreover i need you guys to confirm the flight and hence, less chances of ppl ffk biggrin.gif

hmm... seems like a lot of "side arrangement" eh... thats good... it means everyone is serious into this and we'll definately pump our adrenalin to max!!

I would suggest a meet up on 6Nov2010 (sat) to finalize things :-

1) final headcount (heads in own groups.. and we will wait for Enjoylife to pull his buddy in.... and Sezretz too)
2) headcount for those who need to join me from BKK airport - Photisarn sports apartment (in Pattaya) (refer my AA itinerary) .. and return on final day .. If headcounts are sufficient, I'll prefer to charter a van, cost a bit more, but less hassle ...
3) I need to collect a deposit (for the jump) cry.gif of RM350 each jumper. This is paid to thaiskyadventures asap to secure the jump seats. Will deduct this from the final jump fees later on.
4) How many jumpers need the optional video/photo .. check price here .. http://www.thaiskyadventures.com/skydiving_cart.html
I encourage jumpers to take it up as you dont know when u're gonna jump again rclxm9.gif
5) Get to know each other's faces smile.gif b4 the trip

Is everyone ok? Since we are still in open forum, we shall talk about venue & actual time when I have everyone's email .... ok?

yea wanted to. but then the price isn't really that big of a difference. so i think i'll wait.

btw, nemo.
are you planning to bring your diving gears or rent?
*
I've never left my dive gears at home during my dive trips... but this round, to haul my 15kg gears to Thailand just for 2 dives yawn.gif .. I might jst pack my wetsuit and reg ... you have your full gears? Whoa!! Lets do some serious scuba someday nod.gif

erm. i'm going to pulau dayang for deepavali diving from 5-7th nov, so i can't make it for 6th nov. sad.gif
i should be following your itinerary exactly so will definitely follow you to and fro from BKK airport to pattaya.

re: dive gears
i was thinking the same thing. to bring the full set just for two dives or not. but i think i'm most likely gonna just pay slightly more to rent gears.
i just bought my bcd and reg (most expensive stuff!) not long ago. actually bringing it for first dive at dayang this deepavali!  wink.gif
would definitely go for dive trips someday!
*
alrighty... then we shall meet on 13Nov instead... oth members ok? .... because of the delay, munkeyflo MUST share with us her diving photos from P.Dayang ok? rclxm9.gif and grab each of us a seashell from 30M below !! (no cheating ok,,,, i dowant 20m or 25m... must show me your DC to prove tongue.gif ) rclxms.gif (dont let the DM see u doing that ok...hehe)

p/s ,, remember the 5 items i mentioned... dont come empty handed notworthy.gif

yup, enjoylife & OWSI confirmed... enjoylife waiting for another friend by EOM

you booked your AA? separate itinerary than me?


Added on October 30, 2010, 2:49 pmguys... AA suddenly reduce prices ... go grab them...

1) get cheaper flights (diff schedule than mine) , but have to arrange separate bus transfer to Pattaya
2) give and take on the fares, ... then we take bus/van together

Nemo, I was away for a few days. Will proceed with booking this week. It seems that I might get more people to jump. Currently convincing another couple that agreed to tag along but is still 50/50 about the jump. Will update you later in the week.
So there are chances that my group grows into a 6 pax. biggrin.gif

smile.gif bro, u're a champ... *salute* ... even myself cant get more jumper friends in... what to do, my age group friends all chicken chicken liao ... only me still ever crazy for extreme stuffs ...

talking about that, my Maldives scuba still not confirm yet, pending my PADI instructor friend confirm whether his Liveaboard still has cabins left. Will update u guys on the 13th meet-up ...

Flo, enjoy Dive @ Dayang icon_rolleyes.gif ... and Perfect your buoyancy with new owned BCD & Reg icon_rolleyes.gif (oh talking about new BCD, REMEMBER to soak your BCD 10minutes in water B4 using it the 1st time... the Tank strap needs soaking.. else the Tank might slip down )

Happy Deepavali biggrin.gif

Nemoexcel, are you organizing another skydiving jump soon? I am interested.

Anybody else want to join me?

Hey zlmie, if you are okay with the AA flight fares currently at RM7XX, then you can still join us biggrin.gif .. If not, then I can organize another group later and you can join.... Frankly speaking, the AA flights is too much now. You can wait for a better deal, and ask more LYN forumers to join your group to save on the jump fees.. the more jumpers, the lower the jump fees...

Merry Christmas ....

besides the skydive, i believe most of us enjoyed partying Pattaya!! The food was excellent.....

Daniel/Andrew/Flo, the scuba dive wasnt anything to shout about. The vis was bad.... but cant blame much to the vis, I guess my mood was spoilt when i dropped my torch!! cry.gif (it cost more than the whole day's dive itself)

You dropped your phone? What bad luck. In any case, to those that has motion sickness, try to take motion sickness pills before the jump. One of the jumpers was sick due to the parachute deployment.

i meant i dropped my torch.... my dive torch ... sezrets was fooling around tongue.gif

oh, Malc didnt recover much when back hotel? But he said the sickness started in the van? How is he now?

June, when is your flight schedule? Which day do you prefer to jump? Your scuba should be after that..... mermaids dive center was found by munkeyflo... mermaid is the cheapest of all.... kudos to munkeyflo

what about accomodation? We did not go for the Photisarn sports apmt... coz its far frm town... We stayed at Citinloft Pattaya. Its right at Central Pattaya, within walking distance to the beach, with free Song Thaew to the beach too. Rooms were huge... approx USD38 each night.... Citinloft was suggested by wookp... kudos to him too...

what a team it was..... great fun

So now :

1) ymcj + 3
2) zlmie65? smile.gif

anybody else? ... look at my video.... it was awesome... the scariest part of skydiving was the decision to sign up for it... thats all,,,, the rest were full of excitement...

We came across this post because our website was listed in earlier posts.
We have now launched a new website, www.whoaadventures.com. The same URL without "- " (dash)
It's a much delayed work and we are happy we have finally been able to launch it.

The new URL for Tandem Segamat Skydiving is
http://whoaadventures.com/package/tandem-s...e-segamat-johor
However, it is no longer available as there is no longer a jump plane.
Static line jumps (4000ft) are sometimes available in Malaysia but the tedious coordination and arrangements prompted us to discontinue its listing. If you have minimum 8 persons, we may consider it. No casual inquiries. It will be costly, you will need to stay 2 nights, there is no insurance, there is a risk of cancellation and a lot of patience (& nerves) is required. The plane used for static line jumps are different.

We have been the local partners with Thai Skydive Adventures even before they officially started operations and even before this lowyat thread. TSA offers a reliable and professional facilities, dropzone and USPA instructors - hence we are associated with them. We offer the comfort of arranging a skydive program with a reliable institution in Malaysia before arriving in Thailand. There are multi-day adventures which include kite boarding, bungee jump, discovery scuba and obviously, the usual exotic attractions of Thailand.
http://whoaadventures.com/thailand-skydive-adventures
** the jumps are between 10,000 to 13,000ft. Weather permitting.

Have a good one!
*
Thats weird. Your website says everything not available, no plane available, and why are u posting your offer here??? Mind you, static line jump is NOT skydiving ok. Its merely parachuting down the moment one leaps frm the plane (thats if u have 1). Somemore risk of cancellation? After all the arrangement your jumpers planned (ie annual leaves, transportation to Segamat, accomodation)... come-on .. this was the reason we straight away write off Segamat dropzone and straight flew to Thailand.

Your cost is also so much more expensive. With that jump fees alone, we could have a 4D3N all inclusive fun-filled, flight, accomodation, transportation + Tandem jump in Thailand.

TSA has a 90% jump on schedule record. And its 13,000ft to be exact. With freefall down to 5,000ft b4 the parachute being yanked.

LYN members can read the thread for full info, or PM me for details....
