Hello,

I`m new to this world, Please do warm welcome to me, i dont have any license yet but been dive 1 time in tioman. 1 day 3 dive i can said very tired, but have fun in there. i`m from KL and was trying to dive again this week probably in tengol or perhentian.

Wow! Very impressed me! You did few dive without licence? Means you did DSD right? Since you like diving vry much, why dont you take your licence then you will be more enjoyable i think.

Anyway welcome to MUW and hv a safe dive!

Thanks,
I`m not interested actually, my crazy friend ask to come then become addicted little bit. 1st only wait on bot, then try to breath on bot then straight jump from bot :p, He teach me once reach at there how to breath with mouth, the only thing he said to me is never hold your breath :p, Btw what is DSD?

Ikan wadi · « **Reply #3 on:** May 10, 2011, 12:19:52 PM »

Lolz, you are brave enough doing it many time just like tht?? Has he/she did ask you to equalize? This one also one of the important things in diving. I'm vry sure you know it too because in DSD(DSD-means Discover Scuba Diving- i did once last time in pulau Perhentian), they will teach you some basic things i.e : how to equalize, mask clearing, how to use alternate air-source, few hand signal, regulator discovery. Anyway, hope you will enjoy yourself and remember dive safely!

ohhh equalize, yes i do learn that also as first time i going down it attacking my ear very hard. then going to surface saying that my ear cannot stand the preassure that try to coming in my body... they all laugh then only they teach me... im dive 8-10 meter only if anything happened i just swim like crazy to make it into surface yeah drink salt water many time and when surfaced seems like want to vommit, heheh will take the course maybe later no money $_$ bro... the hand sign only i know going up, ok, go there go here. the rest all joke hand sign that can make in laugh in the water.Still dont dare to open my air source and maybe this dive i will try to learn on how to clear up my mask. Yes i very enjoy when 5-10 min underwater, but very scary for the first minute due to hard to think that i need to breath using mouth and not nose hahahha.

Omg! How cruel your friend is. He should teach you to do equalize 1st beside of other thing. Do you know how dangerous it is, if you dont equalize frequently as we're decending? It could damage our ear drum seriuosly. For my advice, seems you like it tht much, go for licence, save some money 1st., then you can dive more safely, more fun as well.

Dear bro Jerung, OWD--open water diver(this is the one tht you need to take

), after tht you or me or others who's had OWD can go for AOWD-Advance Open Water Diver. Lolz

you can take OWD + AWD together i think the course will be around RM 2+++ and it will be around 5 days 4 night, just ask dive center where you want to take, bro.

jeRUNG · « **Reply #21 on:** May 11, 2011, 01:02:53 AM »

humm still the same right if take 1 by 1. i tot can skip take OWD.

cannot skip OWD.. thats the basic..

bro, ur friends is not only cruel, but selfish and inconsiderate.. u could have lost ur hearing or lost ur life underwater without proper training. scuba diving is categorised as extreme sport, and not covered by almost all insurance..

u mentioned ur ear pain.. in serious case, ur ear drum could have burst and u loose ur hearing. u say u feel like vomit when surface too fast.. you could have gotten narcosis.. or worst, air bubbles in ur blood stream.

i STRONGLY recommend doing OWD before proceeding to other dives. i did mine in perhentian, bubbles DC.. good instructors there. and i saw sea turtles, rays and even 'indian walker' on my first dive..

I recommend learning the whole course on island.. more enjoyable.. but need minimum 4D3N.. if learn in KL, and do open water dives on island, then 3D2N enough d.. many dive shops in kl offer course as well.. u can go to a few and ask their prices. also, ask which dive centre their open water dives will be at..

good luck in ur open water and welcome to MUW..

Ikan wadi · « **Reply #23 on:** May 11, 2011, 09:43:44 AM »

I agreed 200% with you bro Vash.

To dear bro Jerung, like i said b4, like bro Vash said just now too, you must go(STRONGLY AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and take your owd first before proceeding with any diving again yet diving is all about 'SAFETY'. Thts why we're trained to remember 'DIVE SAFELY' OR 'ALWAYS HAVE A SAFE DIVE', it's always 'SAFE' here, 'SAFE' there. We cannot forget this 'SAFETY' when diving. Thts why while training time, courses will teach us how to be 'SAFETY ALWAYS' by profesional trainer@qualified instructor. And the most important one, diver must know their limits, i.e open water diver can only go to 18m(60ft) max depth. Then only we can dive safely and enjoy the fun of dive as well.

jeRUNG · « **Reply #24 on:** May 11, 2011, 11:31:23 PM »

Noted, will go for the license once have money :p, yeahh i just finish explore PADI web and looking for guide, base on the PADI pages i will be safe if just crawling around not more than 18 Meters, more than this limit need a safety stop. Even that Narcosis could be happen also in this depth, never know this before. I thaught i will be safe as long i in 10-14 meter. Btw thanks for the advise guys. And thanks also for the warm welcome Vash.
