anyone going for tech course here????
-
might be good if OPEN WATER course takers don't take during this period at dayang/aur/tioman/perhaintian/radang (any thing along that coast liine altoough lots of operators say can go, and that is true but most probaly u might not like it, 
yes it's time to see big fish, manta and such but weather is too tempermental,
should go if U are
1)very comfortable in the water
2)use to chopy waters
3)able to remain clam when u can't see ur boat when u surface(storm on the surface)
4)get some dive guys that is so good that u know they will keep u safe
lastly
5)love rocky rides/ experincing massive storms on boats

haha..... i also was trained in singapore waters, great place to test ur navi skills,
but sad to hear u guys catching so many big game fishes..... 
does any one practise tag and release? that be great, ok ok offff topic, hi A.tang i aso interested to go liveonboard (the only way to dive) but when u guys going?? most impportantly how much
goto any discount??? -
hi ya long time no see, com still remain dead, anyways, i'm currenetly using force fins, cool stuff, got it cause it looked really out of this world, well the new range featured on fins magazine is not coming to singapore that soon and the price tag they got on it, wah...
it's too astonishing at leaast for me, but very very desirable super cool, performace wise, i've used original force(theone that looks like donald duck) , extra, and acceralerating was quite good buut finning technique change a bit, best part it can scull(DIR style) cool , unlike the splits, where only veery hard splits can do(none in singapore) oceanic has buut must order for those super hard type. cheers

me too me too, have been diving for some time now, nothing intriges me as much as the sea, life is so much purer down there, where we get to see mother nature's great works
, but hate the politics involved in the industry here, neutral man don't mean to offen anyone buit alll that politics just kills the sport 
so best to f*** all that politics and JUST DIVE !!!!!!!
-
oh... that's great, sorry actually that's for sphinx, when u going????for like one o fthose that leave on thursday night then come back on sunday ones?

if my memory serves me right, these photos can from june period, oh ya , just a little tip for leong, for peak performance bouyancy, it'll be better if u controlled ur breathing, take very slow breaths, u can count them, something like 2 counts for in and min 8 counts for out would be nice, for now, it'll be quite annoying but will get use to that in due time,
enjoy tioman man this weekend last week i was in dayang, and we got to see some pilot whales on our way back, they are know to frequent these waters, so look out for them probaly in the area btw tioman island and coral island, or straight out from tekek, enjoy,

cool!! I will remenber that. That sea fan garden suitable for novice diver like me ? without advance yet ?
the c5050 hee... I'm saving to buy that
hi sea fan garden is a divesite where it allows u to dive to a max depth of 32m that's way after the open water limits, but there are also nice stuffs below 18m there, firstly i think it would be great if u have a good control of ur bouyancy, and while diving it , pls monitor ur depth guage often cause the whole place is actually full of large underwater rock formations, so most of the time it's like wall diving, all the picts are shot between 24 to 6m only, so novice can also go, plenty of great sea fans, just look in between the rocks for a great view, there are also often large groups of glass fishes on the shallower places and a school of yellowfin barracudas, they look great when they swim in their formations,
just remenber not to kick the sea fans c5050 is a great u/w camera, has many nice functions such as super macro, it could even get the brisstles on the tooth brush in details

this nudi is like a ghost
-
yo guys it's a bit blurry but this is the best my cam can do i think
for the nudi fans
-
oh....that's in tioman, at seafan garden, and yes it's a nudi, there was two of them when i was there, side by side, this one is laying eggs in the spiral case, i think that white nudi is called jorunna funebris,
i am using a cannon ixus 330, with a cannon offf the shelf housing without any strobes, it's a simple point and shoot kind of thing, i have yet to learn all the functions, i'm trying it out, but it can't take proper shots of nudis, that's sad , the macro ain't that good, but i saw some macro taken by olympus c5050 and those turn out great, i have other shots too, but not editted yet, i'll get them ready asap,sometimes or a lot of times i find that diving is a very slow game, so that we won't miss, the small stuff, cause big stuffs are diffcult to miss, but of course everything comes with a little luck
-
check out my bud, this is how diving should be...
a little like elmo doesn't it, the black version lol
-
Wow~~~!
impressive! u took them urselves??
btw, the pics r a bit too big here in the forum.... maybe u try to resize it to a more 'readable' size?
ya, first few tries, just that it was a lucky shot, no skills involved just good luck and timing

for the sea fan lovers, in their natural environment, without divers and broken fan tips
