Yep....

But I can't decide now...I have to be able to sell the present one first even before I do anything...that's why...looks like there isn't any takers...sighhhh

Hi loonz

Maybe if you put a price tag on it, it will help a little, else sell the equipment off individually.

loonz, if u sell off the livestock first then u can break down system into items which is easier to distribute.

or setup a small holding tank just for livestock until new one is ready.

Ya, I have a major headache dealing with this. My place is not the most spacious of homes, alas!And it would take days before anything is done. The thing is ...I don't know where to start!!?! By the way, guys, I am going to take my open water cert this weekend at Tioman - wish me luck!!

good luck loonz,

me too adv. diver- tioman wasn't as good as it was 5yrs ago, most of the reefs dying already, u better hurry.

when u go for a leisure dive(at the end), bring along some bananas or dried sotong or bread- stuff them into ur BC pocket & when u hit bottom enjoy yourself hand feeding. i just swim along & all the parrot wrasses will follow once they smell it.

u got to clear ur livestock first- then tackle the equip & then tank.(u need the equip to keep everythin alive till they gone)

if u wanna keep ur fishes then setup a holding tnk-2ft will do for temp.

put up some prices for the live things-& see how fast they go (depends on price of course)

I am an advanced diver too! Maybe we can organise a reef-appreciation course for Singapore Reef Club members... I can get my Dive Instructor friend for a special group rate!

But the season for M'sia is closing soon... monsoon coming! Damn... was supposed to go to Redang but I got my reef project... wife is also sad cannot go...

But Thailand dive season is opening soon... PHUKET DIVING!!!

Maybe early next year....

[dfstan]

so many adv. divers huh? me still basic. think its about time to upgrade. would love to join if u guys are planning. phuket is bit far & ex. how about Aur ?

[bawater]

Malaysia dive season over- only Tioman is good in OCt cause all the big fishes come in for shelter from the elements of the open seas- Mantas,whale sharks & big sharks- there will be 2 resident 7foot sharks at coral island ard now .

Aur becomes a vacant ocean during this season+ it rains a lot so bad visibility.

Actually dive season/fishing season ends around mid November... only the brave and gungho will still go out during the pre-monsoon weeks, where the winds are already gusting...

The best time to fish/dive is actually around the monsoon season, as the big fishes come... just that we humans can't take the battering.. heh!

Hi guys,

Guess what??I survived TIOMAN...haha...anywayz...it was better than I expected, but worse than I hoped it would be..... There was nothing I didn't see snorkeling at Redang that I couldn't see scuba diving at Tioman...perhaps I was a little bit unlucky though, cos some of my mates managed to catch glimpses of a sea turtle, and some saw barracudas...there was also mention of a near metre in diameter jellyfish that was prancing about during one of the dives...abit confused there abt barracudas and needle fish, anyone can elaborate on the differences?? I thought wat I saw were baby barracudas while at Redang, they schooled and some were alone, but when I pointed one out at Tioman looking from above water level, I was told it's a needle fish...hmm...

Bottom line, I had fun diving! And would love to take my advance diver soon...at this time, perhaps the cheap and nice place to take that is clear of the monsoon would be in Thailand??? Am i right?
