Any Offical MUW Diving Trips?
« on: February 19, 2008, 11:13:29 AM »

Just wondering if their is any plans to hold an offical MUW diving trips for MUW members be it local or abroad (al cheapo or otherwise) for year 2008 (any specific dates?). Am planning my dive calender for this year and if there is such an event would put it in the 'not to be miss event'.Playing paintball was so much fun together...just imagine if we went diving .....Perhaps our ever so helpful moderators can give an insight...?Thanks ever so much..

JD:
We do have a few in the plan. Places like, Perhentian, Tioman, Aur under official MUW dive trips. Some also will be MUW EANx dive trip. I have to admit that we were a little tied up with our own things, sorry about that. We'll get back to you soon.

Oh, one thing forsure is the MUW 2nd Anniversary which coincides with 31August, will also be another one to look for.

Yo JD!!

Keep a lookout for the Tioman Mega Dive and Celebes Safari 08 announcements mate!!

These two are not to be missed events.. lots of diving and fun activities..

Moderators: am not promoting the events but rather having been there for both as a participant and non participant i would like to encourage more MUWians to go for these events..

Cheers!!

Yo Blackbear!

Those two events are already in the list. I am planning my 2008 diving schedule and am prioritzing them according to budget and timing. Like i said if there is an official MUW dive trip that would certainly take top priority.How do you determine an official MUW trip?mmmm...that would need some thinking tough....maybe we have a tea tarik session :). Thanks for the recommendation and hope to dive with you in the very near future..that could be sooner that you think :)

To answer this question, please take a look below:



Take a look at this one:
Sample A:
The trip was organized ahead of time, announced on MUW with the list of participants signing up.
http://malaysianunderwater.com/smff/index.php/topic,880.0.html

and later followed by a report. Like so:
http://malaysianunderwater.com/smff/index.php/topic,1587.0.html

The trip cost was announced, members of MUW signed up, RM collected and members have been told how much goes to MUW, and some RM DID go to MUW to pay for the server cost. Now this is OFFICIAL!


Sample B
Organized in the forum. Members of MUW signed up and listed their names in the forum. RM collected. Later also followed by a report too, something like this:
http://malaysianunderwater.com/smff/index.php/topic,759.0.html

and RM doesn't come to MUW at all. This is not official.

Sample C
Organized out of the forum. Members of MUW signed up but names were not listed in the forum. RM collected. Later also followed by a report too, something like this:
http://malaysianunderwater.com/smff/index.php/topic,1784.0.html

and RM doesn't come to MUW at all. This is not official.


Sample D
Organized out of the forum. Mostly members of MUW signed up. RM collected. Later also followed by a report too. RM did come to MUW also, but MUW was made known to more public via newspaper write up. This is considered official cos it benefits MUW directly. For example:
http://malaysianunderwater.com/smff/index.php/topic,1995.0.html


Comprende?

Good! :-)

Now next trip you are embarking into, either it's organized in here or not, but attended by majority or all of MUW members, please insist the organizers to contribute something to the forum. One cannot simply take and take. One should give and take. So, members, please insist and make sure they do give back to you too.

Hehehe.. I was just about to say the same thing Sheik.

I'm sure some members agree that announcing their organized trips in MUW forum attracts participants from MUW members. Many do make good profit from those trips, and some do so just so that MUW members gets the best bargains at special prices. In other words, there are traders, and there are contributors.

I am not saying that is wrong to advertise non-MUW trips in MUW, but out of consideration, perhaps do donate some RM to MUW to help defray the server costs. It'll only help us to maintain the running of this forum that we love so dearly.

I totally agree with Sheik.

I would love to see MUW organize it's official trip in conjuntion with Tioman Mega Dive. And of course, I will make sure some contribution will be channel back to MUW. But TMD is not just about a diving trip, but more of a dive festival where MUW & it's members should play a role in promoting our beloved country to the world & our beloved activity ie scuba diving to the general public.

That's my vision of TMD. As an event organizer, of course I make profit from events. But at the same time I want to contribute back to my country, to the diving industry & to the people (especially ppl in Tioman). We may be proud diving elsewhere in this region but who else to support & help promote our own backyard if not ourselves?  ;)

Please refer to the following link about Tioman Mega Dive:
