Hi. Welcome to MUW. There are many serving and retired Armed Forces officers here in this forum.

Do a scuba review.

BTW, please introduce yourself in the introduction section and do tell us more about yourself. Number, rank, name (or rank, name, service, and number if you are an officer), when commissioned (if officer), TJP or TJT or SD or PD or direct comm. Where did you do your training, and where did you commission your first unit mess.

After that, report in Planters Orders at 2200H to Mocha and Stonefins, with handkerchief ironed as per regulation. Failure to introduce yourself properly will be rewarded with starjumps, forward and side-roll up the staircase, sit-ups in the wardrobe, change parade and the infamous "kongkek babi" exercise.

You will only be given one minute commando rest in between rewards.

well, not diving for 4 years is almost as good as not diving before if the last dive was your OW certification dive..... the best thing would be to do a thorough scuba review...best if u could do it in the pool before going for any dive trip.... subsequently u can do self training in the pools to built up more confidence....

funny that i do see quite a few serving members dive as often as 2-3 times a month....hehe...anyway... welcome to MUW....cheers

Do your review/refresher with a certified DM first before any dives...  If u are lack in some of the skills, practice more.... I would say saomething like the bouyancy or maybe the mask clearing   ;)

Can so with me since I am a certified and current DM.

We can do some warm ups. Lari setempat (running on the spot), lompat ke belakang pusing (about turn jumps) until vomit, and the standard circumambulating the pokok ubi (tapioca tree) in wetsuit, tank and fins, goggles as in dive position.
