scuba diving?

[Ridemtb]

me think of learning diving with my bro and wonder how much does it cost per person...erm....is there any age limit?

Scuba Diving starts with Basic Open Water. You should read the Basic Open Water thread. A group of them are going for the course.

The age limit if I am not wrong is 12.

ok mine cost 490

it invovles two or three lessons in the pool depending on your progress

then there will be six sea dives at tioman

and best of all its a live-on-board

wah! 490! that's very cheap.. hmmz.. but what boat was it? bcos some might use normal dive boats instead of proper LOB boats.. u might wanna ask what boat they're using first... plus it's not advisable to be doing ur open water course on LOB as u do not know ur body's limits to the sea conditions.. u could just get seasick and not enjoy ur dive...

IMO, it is not necessary to do a live on board in Tioman. (I have been to Tioman 5 times)

All the dives sites are accessible by speed boat in less than 20 minutes.

Since you are doing training, you can only go to sheltered areas which are less than 10 minutes from shore. You need to do 4 dives for training so that leaves you with only 2 leisure dives.
