advance open water
« on: March 22, 2008, 12:40:47 PM »

first of all if my thread is in the wrong room i am very sorry and moderator please move my thread if i am in the wrong room..

i am looking to take advance open water..
and i already look around in kuala lumpur (scuba dynamics, eshark scuba, ocean explorer, diver den)
and all give almost the same cost...
that make me more confuse..
they also offer me dive in perhentian or redang ( which one nice? coz i never dive in malaysia)

which one should i choose to continue the diving?
or do you have any suggestion ?

thanks
martin

First compare the prices and see which offers the best package. At the very least the package should include original manual, accomodation and boat transfer. Better still if it also includes food and transport from KL. If its too near a comparison, some people prefers DC which nearer to their place. Then talk to instructor who will certifying u. Ask questions about logistics, the course and etc. If ur comfortable with the instructor together with a good package deal...then go for it. As for me, compared to redang and perhentian. I'll prefer Perhentian. But then different people has preferences. Happy searching :)
