KISS

I dont know. I drive up because I got 2 5yr old daughters and I bring lots of luggage. I think it depends on where you stay. If you want to stay at the cheaper chalets (RM30-65 per nite), i think going on your own is cheaper coz the tour operators packages are only for the established resorts (RM300 per nite) which takes in bookings. Actually for cheap accomodations, no option. Have to go on your own. I met this KL guy who went to Perhentian once a month. He would leave KL around 11pm and reach the jetty in time for the 7am boat. If you're thinking of staying at Perhentian Island Resort or Berjaya Redang, i guess package is better coz its hassle free. Pay a bit more one time and everything taken care of. If you're new, then take package. Unless you're the adveturer sort type.

Takde digital camera, aku cuma ambik video saja. Kalau nak tengok gambar pro, go to tis link. http://www.perhentianisland.info/ Yg cakap vegetarian tu, orang bawak boat. Dia cakap shark di situ tak kacau orang. Actually, bila dah banyak orang, shark pun lari.

If u use public transport, try these:- 1) board a bus for Kuala Besut (if any) or Kota Bahru. Reach 8am. 2) get a cab to Perhentian jetty. 3) there are many counters at the jetty for u to book accomodation and the boat. No need to book in Spore. 4) take the boat to Perhentian 5) you're there and u can go for your first snorkelling trip.

JB to KL is only 3 hrs if you go at 140km/hr. I left at 3.15am and reach at 6.15am by car. (13 June 2005) JB to KL is only 2 and half hours by bike travelling at 180km/h. Try that in 1996, left at 4am and reach KL at 6.30am. JB-KL-JB, maybe 7hrs plus some rest.

Redang is better than Tioman but its been too commercialised. If you like Robinson Crusoe type of island, Perhentian is the choice! Those who have been to these 3 islands would find Perhentian is the best place to go snorkelling. It's a bit further though, about 1 and half hrs further than Redang. U board the boat at Kuala Besut, a town in Trengganu near the border of Kelantan. Its about 10 hrs by car if u use the coastal road and 12 hrs using the NS highway, then cutting thru the Gua Musang route. I've used these 2 routes before. http://www.perhentianisland.info/ If u asked the locals (Msians), they would recommend Perhentian than Redang. The type of accomodation that u choose will depends on who is going. If its a family with kids, get an air conditioned room although it cost a bit more. If you're all for rugged accomodation, stay at the Long Beach where there is different types of chalets, plenty of food and dive/tour operators to choose from. Long Beach is quite alive at nite, compared to the other resorts in these 3 islands. I just came back from Perhentian last Sunday, 19th June. Been there for the last 3 years and will be going at least once a year. This time around, i spend 6 hours snorkelling and I got sunburnt on top of my head! Best time to go is from mid March to early October.

OK, baru balik Perhentian di Trengganu dan Bukit Merah di Perak. Total mileage 2000km, pinggang nak patah, beb. Tapi power lah. Ini kali dapat swimming dengan penyu di TURTLE WATCH dan jumpa jugak sharks di SHARK POINT. Seram jugak, tapi shark ini semua vegetarian. Aku tunggu orang lain terjun ke laut, bila semua OK, aku dan mem aku pun terjun. Di SEA GARDEN, phew, punya lah cantik coral. Geram, macam nak bawak balik. Tapi kalau dapat pun, letak satu dalam 5 ft tank, pun tak muat. Next year, boleh return lagi.

Welcome to the club. Gua sekarang mau pergi Pulau Perhentian nak tengok ikan dan coral di Laut Cina Selatan. Bye!

Tak nampak. Kalau ada, aku pun interested.

Baru balik Aquarama. Kalau belum pergi, jgn buang karen dan $$.

Aku nak pergi Sat.

I got a Resun chiller, still in working condition. $50 for you.

If you're from TPE, you exit at Api-Api flyover to go to Pasir Ris Dr 12. Towards the end of Dr 12 where the road bends into Drive 3, you will see MAINLAND TROPICAL farm. Go into that bumpy road. Sentosa Marine is situated inside Aquafauna, about 100 metres from Mainland, along Farmway 1.

Kau punya 3 ft atau 4ft, the difference tak banyak sangat. Yang penting, equipment yg di pakai dan the power consumption.

Reserve by me.

PM you.

Is this still available?

Where can I buy this Beckett? How much? I am new to marine but I have a 5x2x2.5 ft tank running on Macro venturi skimmer. Wished to upgrade my skimmer.

If got Schwantz or Doohan, Im interested!

Singapore have NEWATER and they don't.

Ada sesiapa pakai skimmer AquaMedic turboflotor multi SL?

I've been to Perhentian Islands and you can see corals below you when you're in the boat. You don't have to go that far, to Hawaii.

Hello Osman, kau tinggal mana? Aku Pasir Ris, tapi aku boleh pegi mana-mana tengok skimmer kau. Tak tahu pulak benda gini boleh DIY.

Aku punya set-up FOWLR, tapi nak simpan banyak ikan. Jadi aku rasa Macro aku satu hari nanti tak cukup kuat. Mula-mula nampak Macro needlewheel kat Reborn -$200 Lepas tu nampak Beckett kat Aquamarine - $500 Pergi Bio Ocean, ada pulak Mazeei - $500 Baru balik SeaLife, dia orang recommend H&S - $1800!! Jadi tengak fikir ni, mana nak pilih.

Nak tanya pasal skimmer! Aku sekarang pakai Macro Venturi. Tapi 5 ft tank aku dah banyak angel besar, tang dan butterfly. Jadi ada orang recommend better skimmer. Ku ingat nak pakai Macro needle wheel AS350 around $200. Ada suruh pakai Beckett. Skarang kat AquaMarin ada masuk beckett, around $600. Mana lebih baik?
