Sorry for the late replies. Been quite tied up with work.

I heard off the coast of Miri, they found some corals somewhere. But visibility isnt that good.. That's what some friends were telling me.. (correct me if I'm wrong..)

finally got myself signed up for the OW course. If all goes well, will be in Redang at the end of the month

Narco · « **Reply #43 on:** August 04, 2010, 06:17:25 PM »

Way to go there.

sylvansim · « **Reply #44 on:** August 05, 2010, 08:36:19 AM »

thanks.

I am contemplating now for a dive watch... need some opinions. these are the few things/combinations i need:

1) dive watch
2) compass (i would think it is useful during a dive)

so i can either jump straight to the Suunto D6 which might cost alot for a starter or i can opt for a Suunto Zoop + a standalone dive compass.

opinions? budget wise approx RM2k

sylvansim · « **Reply #45 on:** August 06, 2010, 08:31:28 AM »

Decided to go on the seperate route, bought a seperate compass with hose mount and now thinking of a Suunto DC and a set of Regs and Oct since it is one of the most important equipment (and personal one too

).

Congrats sylvansim..!!!

sylvansim · « **Reply #55 on:** September 01, 2010, 08:49:35 AM »

Thanks Finding Grouper & Narco..

I have to say, investing in a reasonable DC (Suunto Zoop) is one good investment for an OW diver.

kopang · « **Reply #56 on:** September 02, 2010, 12:37:45 AM »
