[hamannbmw]

hi, i'm keen to join u all too....., but can i ask, is physical fitness important, cos i'm given up all my fitness to the army 10 years ago......., i flung my 2.4 last year....

[hoppinghippos]

hamman: it is not neccessary to be super fit, but of cuz its better to be!!! being fit helps to prevent decompression sickness or bends (or at least lower risk level) and you must rem always diving isn't just any other sport, it carries risk to life and limb, so don't play play! having said that, I"ve seen some of the FATEST pple, and I really really mean fat pple, dive, and some are dive masters or rescue divers!

[hamannbmw]

ya, hippo thansk for your advise, i know what u mean..... my dad was a old fisherman, have been diving for more that 20 year , until he got ****** (dunno wat u call that), he walks with a limp now......., so i know the importants n risk for this hobby....

Flub,

Try not to space out so far apart coz the open water wun start till mid march (i think, that is when the monsoon is over). When u have the theory and the pool session so far apart from the actual open water, u might forget leh.. it is better to do everything while the memory is still fresh...

furthermore, to go to Tioman during the march hols is a bad idea.. coz the place will be very crowded... and u probably have to book very early...

group is fine.. as long as it is not too big a grp like 20 students.. i prefer to keep the class small, u get to know other divers better.. perhaps like 6 divers in a class max.

so spend it diving... how else to celebrate your burfday but underwater with all the fishes and corals... but you will have pretty ladies to learn with... what more do you want as a burfday present huh... other than for the fact that the ladies are most probably can see but cannot touch....

[terryansimon]

please no. I got my girlfriend to see and touch. don't intend to go somewhere else just for that. I was thinking of Tioman for my openwater thing, so that I can go there and enjoy a bit at the same time.

hmm. see how first. =\

[flubberina13]

Yup...instructors also mentioned smaller group preferably...

[terryansimon]

flub...I was thinking of looking for Opheus Dive. Tioman. 1:4 instructor/student ratio. hehz. (=

And one thing, non-members accepted?

Can csc cards can be used as proof for being civil service in the education sector? My matriculation card expired very long ago liao...

That's my source...

[terryansimon]

oh. OH. OH.

[kelstorm]

That's my source...

hmmm.. i dun mind joining u chaps for dive trip.. but me should be on a leisure... and i'm kinda sick of Tioman though thinking of going to Dayang or Aur

If u guys are to go to Tioman, ask the instructor to bring u guys to Lobster Reef and Chebeh... very nice... i saw turtles at lobster reef, Giant Green Moray, a school of squids and a huge plot of SPS... u will drool at the sight.. but for Chebeh, it is infested with sea urchins and crown of thorns... which means that the area will soon be a graveyard for SPS...
